Theoretically, even non-router devices could use more than one address, just to confuse what's listening on the other side.
In that scenario, DHCPv6 would be responsible for keeping the assigned subnet filled randomly, rather than being conservative and consistent with address assignments. I don't know if anyone is doing it now, but I don't think we should dismiss IPv6 for this reason.

- tommiegannert 4y agoThanks for the reference! Doing that directly with SLAAC is of course even nicer.
