The supported platforms are Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora), OS X, Windows
and Android.

It will be interesting to see how well their scripts work in Qubes
netvms. Debian already has its own automatic handling of macchanger,
which can be activated when installing that package. It also has a
manual GUI app called macchanger-gtk.

Note the IETF's own wiki implies this was only to be used at one
physical conference...

Fortunately, their scripts do not appear to be location-specific.
