He's specifically talking about temporary addresses.
dhcpcd enables stable private addresses by default instead.
dhcpcd does however read the net.inet6.ip6.use_tempaddr sysctl and act
accordingly and thus defaults to what the kernel is setup to do.
I could add an option to dhcpcd to set the sysctls by default in
dhcpcd.conf, but not all OS's allow userland to set temporay addresses which
is why I choose to read the kernel option and re-act accordingly.
I think dhcpcd is doing the right thing. We already have a way to set the
sysctl value, no need for a second one.
