In my particular case, IPv6 offers no advantage when it comes to
renumbering.  It is just exactly as difficult to renumber with v6 as it
is with v4.  I do understand that in a lot of cases where end nodes are
autoconfiguring based on RA it makes it easy but in many places that
really isn't an option.
