What I meant is that I'd expect addresses for services other than the
ones I listed in my original email to be unlikely. (e.g. "lightweight"
services would be hosted together with other services, and the address
would correspond to the more "heavy-weight" service) -- but yes.. this
is just me doing guesswork.

draft-ietf-6man-stable-privacy-addresses would have taken care of that ;-)

Understood. -- For curiosity sake: the "chassis address" is a "lowbyte"
address, IPv4-based address, SLAAC, or something else?

Thanks!
