Oh dude. Tell me about it. (being rhetorical)

I haven't really scratched the surface of IPv6.

Although for the heck of it I did Wireshark a static setup coming up
on a link vs. dynamic (from "another OS"). Probably not a surprise
that the static setup just does a normal ND on the gateway IP instead
of an RS/RA like dynamic does. That's pretty different. I think that's
a big part of the point being made here.
