The 6renum WG at IETF just closed, with a list of work items remaining for
other WGs to complete.  I recommend RFC6879 in particular, with RFC6866
describing some parts of the problems and RFC7010 being the outstanding
work.

The IETF has generally been taken as an assumption that the home network
is 

unmanaged (see the Homenet charter and architecture document, for
instance).
The administrator of a managed network can follow RFC6879 and renumber
pretty seamlessly.  In the unmanaged home, since everything is automatic,
renumbering should be seamless.  Yes, more tools are needed (thus RFC7010).
