I think I agree with a lot what people are saying here but it just seems like a engineering nightmare. To my point earlier who knows what hashing algorithm they are using to randomize the mac address. Is it even a hash? I'm just glad that I am not the only one that thinks everything about IPv6 is NOT all good. NAT just seemed like an elegant solution to a problem and now we have IPv6 and it just doesn't seem right to me, but we will see.
If IP addresses was all we were worried about they could have just added an extra octet and called it a day. Hell you could even make that octet Hex which would have given you 48bits in the address space with is a ridiculous amount of IPs, but i guess we couldn't call it an octet, maybe a hextet. Older devices would just read the lower 32 bits; newer device would read all 48 bits.
I read this book about every open system becomes closed, let me check the name real fast. The book is called "Who controls the Internet" it is on audible if you don't have time to actually read a physical book I definitely recommend you checking it out.
I do appreciate everyone opinion though, it is good to hear different perspectives.
