They are independent. But the question is whether we want
to have LLA in Solaris. And it seems that the only supporting
argument for it is it helps Bonjour. This is a valid reason.
But if this is the only reason, then we need to weight it
against the potential complexity added in the code and the
problem of explaining to customers all the failure modes.
The complexity depends on how "well" we want LLA to work.

I am wondering how it helps in debugging. So suppose the
machine has one interface and is plugged in but it cannot
get any address somehow. Why does having a LLA help? If
that helps, I suppose assigning a, say 192.168.x.x, will have
the same effect. Debugging already implies human interaction.
So the automatic part of LLA should not matter. Right?
