Yes, I deploy this stuff.

But proponents on the baccelli draft would say this is 
supported, as there is some determined connectivity.
I'm not sure this is valid argumentation, because I 
think the proponents know little of my MANETs.


But also for this case (same as LLs), I think it makes sense
we Autoconf work on for a maximum-length, global / ULA prefix. 
But the practical addressing model for MANETs shall dot say 
these are preferred. These are needed if nothing else is 
available and can be a stepping stone to acquire other prefixes.
