I'd argue not about security, but transparency - when having your mac address partially included in the IPv6, you would basically allow browsers and other systems identify you without additional steps.
Early IPv6 commonly used EUI-64 addressing, which did embed your MAC address into the IPv6 interface ID
- figmert 9mo agoSure, but your MAC address is easily spoofed. In fact, all major operating systems do it nowadays for public WiFi systems and you have to explicitly opt-out of randomising your MAC Address when connecting.
