Hi!
I have recently implemented and tested the patch at [1], which
implements RFC 7217, about generating IPv6 addresses that are constant
through reboots, but do not expose the MAC address of the machine, not
being in any way derived by those.
I'd like to get comments, testing and review for this patch, with the
objective of getting approval to commit it to head once it is
streamlined enough.
BTW I'd like to thank cognet for his suggestions and help with the
patch, in particular his help in finding the correct way to implement
the dad_failures counter.
And thanks in advance to anyone willing to give feedback!

Hi Guido,
hi all,
everything works perfectly in 16.0-CURRENT and stable/15. Would it be
possible to officially MFC this patch[2] to stable/15, given that
15.0-RELEASE has already been published?
The patch has been tested in 16.0-CURRENT for couple months now, and an
MFC to stable/15 is possible by pulling in only one other commit[1] as a
prerequisite. It also appears that it no longer breaks the ABI[3] and
was even reworked to increase robustness[4].
There is still sufficient time to test this enhancement in stable/15,
and it would be a good candidate for inclusion in 15.1-RELEASE.
