They also mean you cannot have any connections survive longer term,
since every prefix change will kill them (unless you push them through the
moral equivalent of a tunnel that you restore as soon as you have the new
address).

They also mean that your connection is restricted to a role of consumer,
not a full participant of the Internet.
