Yeah I was going to touch upon that. I understand where they were coming from design wise (apenwarr's post is fantastic for that - https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810). Privacy extensions mainly seems like doubling down on an unworkable idea. I can see the hypothetical benefit on a shared network, where say a coffee shop has a /64 and you can have every single app looking like a separate device on that network to an outside observer. I just foresee the inevitable future where IP surveillance databases contain information like "this /48 hands out /64 to each end user, so treat it as one entity", rendering those extra bits as a mere liability to be mitigated.
