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. -- Simon.
