** Description changed:

  My network has both DHCPv6 and SLAAC for IPv6. From both a privacy
  perspective and readability reasons, DHCPv6 should *always* be preferred
  over SLAAC addresses when available.
  
  NetworkManager has always been able to adhere to that by simply setting
  ip6.privacy=0 for the connection.
  
  So if you would - for instance - run `curl ifconfig.co`, the DHCPv6
  address would be used to connect to the outside world.
  
  Since the update to 1.36.6, this is no longer the case. NetworkManager
  now routes outgoing traffic through the SLAAC address, even if
  ip6.privacy=0 is set for the connection. Setting
  net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0 and
  net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.use_tempaddr = 0 with sysctl also no longer
  has any effect.
  
  Physically removing the SLAAC addresses or disabling RA's altogether is
  the only way to stop NetworkManager from prefering SLAAC over DHCPv6
  now.
  
  Looking at the changelog of NetworkManager 1.36.6, things regarding IP
  address order and temporary addresses have been changed in that release:
  
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/nm-1-36/NEWS
  
+ When running `ip -6 a`, the list now sorts SLAAC addresses above DHCPv6
+ addresses. With NetworkManager 1.36.4 this was not the case.
+ 
  Unfortunately, this introduced this bug, which is really breaking a lot
  of my use cases.
  
  I should note that the bug is not present in NetworkManager 1.38.0 on
  Debian sid. That just prefers DHCPv6 addresses when available, like it
  should.

Title:
  DHCPv6 addresses are no longer preferred over SLAAC addresses

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My network has both DHCPv6 and SLAAC for IPv6. From both a privacy
  perspective and readability reasons, DHCPv6 should *always* be
  preferred over SLAAC addresses when available.

  NetworkManager has always been able to adhere to that by simply
  setting ip6.privacy=0 for the connection.

  So if you would - for instance - run `curl ifconfig.co`, the DHCPv6
  address would be used to connect to the outside world.

  Since the update to 1.36.6, this is no longer the case. NetworkManager
  now routes outgoing traffic through the SLAAC address, even if
  ip6.privacy=0 is set for the connection. Setting
  net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0 and
  net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.use_tempaddr = 0 with sysctl also no longer
  has any effect.

  Removing the SLAAC addresses with `ip addr del` or disabling RA's
  altogether is the only way to stop NetworkManager from prefering SLAAC
  over DHCPv6 now.
