They use Avahi for autodisovery of the IPv4 "link layer" address
to further boostrap the configuration. Unfortuately avahi-autoipd
seems to needs lots of dependencies, including gobject-introspection.

bsd-cloudinit is written in Python and they use it to get a proper
IPv4 addresses. This configuration gets sucked into rc.

It's /64 formally here, but I am told only to use 16 (sixteen) addresses
xxxx:2000 ... xxxx:200f

Sounds like neighbour discovery scalability issues?
