+ The "net.inet6.ip6.use_stableaddr" sysctl is now on by default.
+ This changes the default algorithm to choose IPv6 SLAAC autogenerated
+ addresses from embedding the interface hardware address to using
+ SHA256-HMAC hash as described in RFC 7217 to derive an opaque but
+ stable Address. If you are using autoconfigured IPv6 addresses at
+ reboot they will be different after this change, but constant
+ thereafter, please update your DNS records if any.
