Folks,

FYI, OpenBSD now ships with RFC7217 support, and in the process, they
have removed the artificial /64 limit, and can do SLAAC on prefixes
shorter and longer than /64 (say, /60, /32, etc.).

Quite cool. -- but even if you disagree, I guess the "FYI" is still
valuable. :-)

P.S.: The reader might enjoy the commit message at:

:-)

Thanks!

Cheers,

Hmm ... does anyone know of a credible use-case for a shorter prefix length
in PIO?
Anyone has experience to share about the what actually happens with a
longer than 64 prefix length in slack?

The second part of that equation is ... a 'router' can send PIO with prefix
length set to anything ...but will hosts support it?
