I would agree with that comment, but then again, I don't see any compelling reason (nor any advantage) to use the VIN in the IPv6 address anyway. So privacy concerns or no, I would reiterate my suggestion that if the VIN is used, it be used as part of a DNS name, rather than an integral part of the address.
