Good point.
I guess we can start with IPv4 where in some cases (dialup being the
prime example) the IPv4 addresses change over time.
In IPv6 the temporary addresses RFC provide a way to make it
harder to correlate packets from the same machine over time.

So I think the "do no harm" criteria means that the introduction
of multihoming support should still provide the same ability as we
have in IPv6 with temporary addresses.
