PS: this does not look specific to IPv6

This does not look specific to NetworkManager, as long as NM is working strictly in the limits created by the RFCs...

The last 64 bits are recommended to be based on the MAC address, but not only is this not required, it is not recommended for a server.

For example:

$ host www.ietf.org
www.ietf.org has address 64.170.98.32
www.ietf.org has IPv6 address 2001:1890:1112:1::20

How can you tell that this address was dinamically assigned, or a full static address was designed to it?

  What I am saying is to add flexiblity so that other suffixes can be use.

Have you ever seen this feature in any other system?
