Hi!
I have recently implemented and tested the patch at [1], which
implements RFC 7217, about generating IPv6 addresses that are constant
through reboots, but do not expose the MAC address of the machine, not
being in any way derived by those.
I'd like to get comments, testing and review for this patch, with the
objective of getting approval to commit it to head once it is
streamlined enough.
BTW I'd like to thank cognet for his suggestions and help with the
patch, in particular his help in finding the correct way to implement
the dad_failures counter.
And thanks in advance to anyone willing to give feedback!

This is great news for the community !
I've already started testing it on both a desktop and a laptop - which
is probably even more valuable, especially since the laptop will be
connecting to various networks. If I encounter any issues, I will post
comments in the review.
Best regards
