Hi, Karl,

Not sure what you mean. -- Having the DHCPv6 server implement
draft-gont-6man-stable-privacy-addresses might be interesting such that
stable addresses are leased to nodes state-lessly.

Exactly. Hence the DHCPv6 server could be computing the algorithm in
draft-gont-6man-stable-privacy-addresses.
