This is a lot of code, and this approach is largely obsoleted by link-local IPv6 addressing, which also has the benefits of being simpler, deterministic (at least with RFC 4862), and collision-proof. Both Apple [1] and Microsoft [2] prefer IPv6 link-local as the best practice.
Is it really that important to support self-assigned IPv4?
