desired.
How would that work on sites where the IT department policy is to
pre-assign specific addresses to specific interfaces (i.e. MAC
addresses)?
That is very common practice for IPv4 and I don't see it changing
on such sites just because of a change of version number.
I realize that this preference on my part isn't going to receive IETF
consensus so this is a tangent.
But to answer your question: _assigning_ addresses centrally is
incompatible with SEND and shim6. I'd rather have the latter than the
former. If hosts register their addresses management is still possible.
