If your statement is that we only have the 64 bit boundary because of SLAAC I believe you are wrong.
Can you provide any support for that view?

If I understand you correctly, your proposal is to change the fixed 64 bit Interface-ID length in IPv6 to a variable one, with an exception for links where SLAAC is used.

How do you practically suggest to do this, given the issues raised in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7421#section-4.1 ?

Do you think this change is appropriate in the context of advancing 4291?

Do you have implementation reports and are there not interoperability problems here?

Best regards,
Ole
