[1] dhcpcd no longer looks at any possible kernel settings when deciding to manage IPv6 temporary addresses or not. You now instruct dhcpcd to do this in dhcpcd.conf. Playing whack-a-mole with various kernel knobs wasn't fun and some OS's are removing RA and thus temporary address managemnt from the kernel so said knobs are no longer there.
