Many ISPs routinely use DHCP as an means to degrade their customers'
address stability, forcing them change addresses as often as once a day,
in order to prevent their customers from running certain kinds of
applications.

Yeah, and others do the same thing by, say, having their firewalls block
incoming connections to port 80.  That doesn't mean that firewalls
shouldn't exist.

no, it means firewalls can be misused.  just like DHCP.

on the other hand IETF doesn't have a standard that says it's okay 
for firewalls to block port 80.  it does have a DHCP standard that 
says it's okay for DHCP servers to not renew leases.
