Not exactly. I only said that for some conservative distributions that 
strictly control any version bumps, simple bump of dnsmasq to 2.67 may 
be not an option, and hence they may consider backporting the feature 
they miss as an alternative. I haven't mentioned which route Red Hat 
will go though.

You may be interested in tracking the following Red Hat bug to see how 
it goes:

Yes, I have a patch in review to move the version check from DHCP agent 
to sanity_check tool [1]. I will update it today since it seems the 
issue gets a lot of traction and attention recently (f.e. see [2]).

Note that at the moment, there is no RDO Kilo release yet. Though you 
may find some packages for Kilo in Delorean (RDO based on master) [3].

We hope that EL7 will receive an update for dnsmasq to allow it to serve 
IPv6 stateful subnets in the near future, as far as I know teams are 
actively working on delivering it. Once we get the update, we'll be ok 
to disable the warning in Juno [4] (in Red Hat repos, not upstream).

Yes, that's a way to go for now. Sorry for any inconvenience due to that.
