Hi, I don't know if I'm still on this list, or if I got kicked off due to
outsourced spam filtering.
I did find my subscribe message from 2001 :-)

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9096.html was just published.
While is has specific relevance to those running Debian as their CPE, it also
has relevance to people running Debian on a desktop or laptop, and also using
virtual machines.

It is not yet popular to get prefixes via DHCPv6-PD for use with VMs (LXCs,
Dockers...), I think that part of this is due to lack of clear infrastructure
for doing that.

In particular, RFC9096 makes it clear that DHCPv6-PD clients ought to store
the prefixes they got in stable fashion that survives reboots.
The question is, where would we do that on Debian?
It would be nice if we could do this in a fashion that was independant of the
various tool options that exist to manage things.
