Isn't it great that we never have to worry about IPv4 style addressing
issues (e.g. sizing the subnet, manually configuring the addresses, or
having an "address configuration server" attached to the segment to
manage addresses) when dealing with Ethernet in the last 27 years or
so? Why is that, and what can we learn from that?

among many other things, that autoconf sucks in significant instances
