Agreed.
I've re-read Section 6.5 of 7788, and it looks like I was wrong. Sorry,
I should not be writing technical mails in the middle of the night.
As far as I can tell from the wording of 6.5:
- creating ULA is SHOULD if there's no global IPv6, MUST NOT otherwise;
- creating private IPv4 is MAY if
Juliusz, with all due respect, if you have a connection over IPv4 and
suddenly your IPv4 network is deconfigured, your connection will hang. I
know this because that's what happened. This is not good behavior, and
should not be the default behavior of homenets.

Er, no. ULAs have global scope. My bad.

No argument here.

There's no surprise, it just works. RFC 6724, Section 6, Rule 8.

Sure. If no services are advertised over IPv4, then we needn't offer IPv4
on the network at all. But if we do offer IPv4 on the network, it should
be stable, and not vanish at the whim of the ISP.

In order for IPv6 to be useful, you need naming to work. We had this
discussion when I brought this up last year. It should be possible for an

During his talk, Ted claimed that he lost all connectivity when his uplink
went down. This should not happen -- HNCP normally maintains an IPv6 ULA
that remains stable no matter what happens to DHCPv6 prefix delegations or
DHCPv4 leases. This is described in Section 6.5 of RFC 7788, and it is
