Agreed.

And if we were to do it, we should be recommending this in a 6man
document, not v6ops.

Describing the virtues of one prefix per node, or how isolating nodes
(no "on link prefix") or the like are all fine for an informational
document, or even as a BCP (if that's how the wg feels).

Specifying hacks to SLAAC which require modification to the SLAAC router
code (you certainly need to hack e.g. radvd quite a lot to implement
this) or add additional requirements to SLAAC (like the requirement of a
data structure that contains mappings of Prefix_leased -> MAC_address)
is std track work that should be done in 6man, and with a document
flagged as "std track", not bcp.
