Right -  but on wifi interfaces it usually doesn't work. There was a
discussion (quite some time ago) about controlling this per interface
and also make all wifi interface automatically turn it off.

The "can not bind to addresses in duplicated state" is a new thing in -8
(and current), which is why the config always used to work.

I do this on my notebook as well, and still am typing this mail over
an IPv6 connection.
