Hi.
This is just an information gathering question. I don't know enough to
formally propose the change.
I happened to notice QEMU's default for the ipv6 network is fec0::/10
which is deprecated (RFC3879).
I think(!) an obvious replacement is fe80::/10, link local.
Has anyone thought about this issue or know of reasons why we shouldn't
make this change?
I'm a bit worried this could break various scripts and firewall rules
where this is the expected default range...
