FWIW, something along these lines could be used for the content of the 
subsection that elaborates on the requirement:

    [RFC8415] requires that IAID for an IA MUST be consistent across
    restarts of the DHCP client. However, some popular CE Routers are
    known to select a new random IAIDs e.g. everytime the underlying PPP
    session is established. This could be the result of extrapolating the
    behavior described in [RFC7844], or simply a consequence of not
    storing the IAID on stable storage and failing to employ an algorithm
    that consistently generates the same IAID upon reboots. Thus, this
    requirement prevents CE Routers from inadvertently triggering a
    flash-renumbering event on the local network.


Tweaks welcome :-)
