Log message:
Back in the history of time, IPv4 had classes of addresses.  This was widely
acknowledged as a failure.  At the same time IPv4 classes were declared a
failure, IPv6 decided to add them back because using a mac address for
IP address configuration was easy.

Now that we have RFC7217 support we can remove this artificial limitation:
allow non-/64 prefixes to be configured by SLAAC.

Of course, if you have fewer bits for the hosts part of the address you
have fewer bits for privacy and fewer bits to avoid collisions.
