I don't think address-based privacy offers any privacy at all, since the 
tracker can just track the prefix.   The problem is that this is also true of 
the customer prefix. I think the idea that you can get privacy by changing the 
IP address or prefix is hopelessly naive.   If you want privacy, you probably 
need something like TOR, only commercial, but even then what you get is privacy 
from everybody but your TOR provider.

Ironically, the simplest version of this commercial TOR for IPv6 is an NPTv6 
router somewhere near the backbone.   :}
