Not sure what you mean. -- Having the DHCPv6 server implement draft-gont-6man-stable-privacy-addresses might be interesting such that stable addresses are leased to nodes state-lessly. > The DHCPv6 model is one where the client defers to the server.

Exactly. Hence the DHCPv6 server could be computing the algorithm in draft-gont-6man-stable-privacy-addresses.
