One point I often miss in the endless discussions wrt dynamic/static IPv6 with references to the dynamic IPv4 world, is the lack of RFC1918 addressing for IPv6. The fact is that all residential users are used to, and depend on, static IPv4 addressing within their own network. They assign e.g. 192.168.5.5 to their printer and 192.168.5.6 to their NAS, and trust that those addresses are static.
They can do this with a ULA prefix if they want (RFC 4193). It is both private and most likely (really, very, very likely) unique. This assumes they only want their printer or NAS to be accessible on their own local network. Regards, Leo
