I think it is definitely interesting for AUTOCONF to solve after we
have been rechartered; but not at this time. We want to produce an
addressing model that covers a general case, and is not specific to
certain subsets of scenarios. After finishing work on the general
address model, I am not against thinking about more specific models
with more assumptions (i.e. unique MAC etc.)
