Skype, by default, will tell you when there is a patch available.
Also if you don't patch you are not in a worse position than you
will be when your ISP starts to hand you ambigious addresses that
are not identified as such.

What we do in is a way for the customers to request non-ambigious
addresses in response to DHCP/PPP etc. requests along side this
allocation and for the return address to be properly annotated.
