In addition, use whatever other means that suits your fancy to get addresses. If addrconf says configure some address, most definitely also do that. If there are manually configured addresses, do that too. > I don't think I can agree with that. > Wasn't this already debated some time ago?

IMO, its very clear that you can (and even should) use other means, as appropriate.
