dhcpcd and static IPv6 addresses

Hi List!

So over the years, several people have asked for dhcpcd to support
static IPv6 addresses - I even have an open ticket for it. Now, IPv6 is
designed around many addresses, whereas IPv4 is designed around a
singular address. So some questions :)

  *  Is there a need to configure >1 static IPv6 address?
  *  Should a static IPv6 address disable IPv6RS and DHCPv6?
  *  Should it have it's own reason for dhcpcd-run-hooks(8)?

My thoughts are yes, no and yes. But please, let me know yours and your
rationale for it.

Thanks

Roy
