What is "baroque" about it? It probably takes less infrastructure than IPv4.
In fact there are standards in the embedded space that use the auto-config features to reduce the infrastructure needed to work:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15118 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15118 (EV charging)
- ok123456 5y agoHow about the fact there are at least four different ways to do auto-configuration.
- throw0101a 5y ago1. SLAAC 2. DHCPv6 (optional) Which is the same as IPv4: 169.254.0.0/16 and DHCPv4. Except 169.254.0.0/16 can't get you universal connectivity, only link-local.
- fulafel 5y ago2, like with v6. 3, if you count link local (like with v6).
