Yes it's a waste but necessary until there are other options.

The reboots to change router WAN MAC are due to a restriction within the SH's config, not the CMTS.

The E6k's software is still somewhat immature. Hopefully options to disable ARP and use DHCP leasequery will come in at some point. Through this the CMTS if it hits an unknown IP address will send a leasequery to the DHCP server.
