No.

I actually had a better idea and am working on making a better ARP state
engine, so we can have two, one for DHCP and one for IPv4LL.
This should allow dhcpcd to negotiate DHCP and IPv4LL at the same time.

It doesn't.
IPv6 requires the LL address up and running as it uses that for RS/RA
and DHCPv6.

Hopefully have it wrapped by over the weekend or earlier.

No problem!
