I would have liked that draft or draft-gont-6man-deprecate-eui64-based-addresses to SHOULD allow the static configuration of interface IDs within a subnet of host using draft-ietf-6man-stable-privacy-addresses.


There is also the tokenised interface identifier method, which allows short IIDs to be statically configured.

If there's interest, I'll renew the draft.
