FYI, changing the source IPv6 address for outgoing connections is
foreseen as a host-level privacy mechanism, see RFC 4941. A typical
OS implementation is to change the address roughly every 24 hours. I
think this has been the default on Windows for several years; it can
also be enabled on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, but I'm not sure it's the
default.
So at least a basic level of address-changing can be achieved
relatively easily using today's OSes.
