In your previous mail you wrote:

and it can also satisfy per process behavior.

My concern is you provide a device then look for its usage, I prefer to
get requirements and only after look for ways to satify them.

Yes, SR7 does not have a corresponding DR?. But getaddrinfo() is supposed
to sort the destination addresses keeping source address selection rules
(in this case, its SR7) in mind. Hence the AI_PREFER_SRC_* flags make sense
for TMP and PUBLIC.
=> if there are for each prefix a TMP and a PUBLIC addresses AI_PREFER_SRC_TMP
& co are strictly useless so are candidate for a garbage collection when
we'll run out of bits in ai_flag...
