In addition to enterprise nets, which have different criteria from private users over ISPs, there are control system networks. On factory floors, in all manner of vehicles, and so on. Networks running machinery, providing navigation data, and on and on.

That's what this document is all about: to improve stable addresses such
that, from an operational pov, they are still stable, while they prevent
address scanning and network tracking.

We do not mandate thier use. We just say that, by default, folks should
stop using a scheme with known flaws.

Thanks!

Cheers,
