Given that the question is being driven by the work going into 3484bis, 
I disagree.  The question I asked is querying people's choice for 
preferring temporary (RFC 4941) addresses over public addresses when 
performing address selection.

The discussion of defining a new form of stable address as opposed to 
the current EUI-64-derived addressing is a separate topic.  This is 
especially relevant given the state of 3484bis (ready for WGLC).

Brian
