What I don't see is any conceptual outline for deciding, in a distributed methodology, which prefixes to renew and which to release when their valid lifetime expires. Without seeing that, I can't agree that you've proposed anything that solves the problem I keep yammering about, much less offered a better solution than the one I proposed earlier in the thread.

That seems to imply that you know in advance that the network
will partition. I assume that it will usually be a surprise.
Normally there is no human manager, although a human might
randomly disconnect cables or switch off a power socket.

So I think you mean: as soon as the network has generated its ULA...

...but that will break when another router attaches itself later,
unless the (re)distribution process is continuous.

Sure, and this needs to be supported by HNCP (or something else).

Again: that has to happen as soon as the ULA is generated, since partition
is unpredictable.
