+Some BSD systems protect against IPv6 NS/NA messages by ensuring that the
+source address matches an address/prefix on the interface.
+This is an error as the correct check is for on-link prefixes.
+As such, on these systems stateful addressing via DHCPv6 may cause issues
+trying to reach other neighbours.

 Some systems have /dev management systems and some of these like to rename
 interfaces. As this system would listen in the same way as dhcpcd to new
