In your previous mail you wrote:

   But your friendly IESG doesn't want you to have that tool in your
   hands until you've been told exactly where to point it.

=> I take advantage of the occasion to support the ICMPv6 name-lookup
mechanism: this is very useful when a rogue router for instance
sends stupid router advertisements. You know what is its link-local
addresses and using ICMPv6 name-lookups (ping6 -w on BSDs) you get
its name effortlessly (and even when the IPv6 config was completely
messed). This can become a major tool for network management,
thanks Matt!

PS: recovery is another problem, I'll send a mail about it because
something is needed for it too.
