RFC 3041 specifies privacy for autoconfiguration only. If DHCP is in use,
the node can simply request multiple addresses from DHCP, and to the extent
that the DHCP server allows a node to have more than one address, different
addresses can be used for different transactions.

Hi Suresh,
Autoconfiguration IS still IN USE even with privacy addresses. The
prefix can be invalidated just as well with privacy addresses as with
non-privacy addresses. I do not see any issues in this regard. In
short
privacy addresses just extend stateless autoconf, and hence will
retain
all the properties of a stateless autoconf address.
Privacy addresses can also be configured using DHCP, right?
