In a server environment, administrators typically assign static IPv6 addresses manually and do not use the EUI-64 method.To add a note, administrators usually avoid *using* EUI-64 addresses for production, especially for their DNS records. However, they often have an EUI-64 address because having default routes and other parameters automatically configured by accept_rtadv is convenient. That's why I believe there will be an impact on servers. however, as you said, it's not an issue here.
At least, we use accept_rtadv in our production AND people typically configure their rtadvd with the autonomous bit. So this results in having EUI-64 addresses on the servers, which may be used in source selection.
I would like to kindly request @madpilot to create this patch for review, including a note in the UPDATING file, if everyone is in agreement.
