If address space is scarce, allocate it dynamically. That's what DHCP is for.
Another use case for DHCP is mobile operation. As a station moves from gateway to gateway DHCP (with Dynamic DNS) makes routing much simpler.
Also remember, not all Net-44 traffic will be travelling via AX.25. For example D-STAR DD sends encapsulated Ethernet packets over the air interface so DHCP works quite simply. (At least using ircDDBGateway implementation.)
