Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8981, changed abstract to 'This document describes an extension to IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration that causes hosts to generate temporary addresses with randomized interface identifiers for each prefix advertised with autoconfiguration enabled.  Changing addresses over time limits the window of time during which eavesdroppers and other information collectors may trivially perform address-based network-activity correlation when the same address is employed for multiple transactions by the same host.  Additionally, it reduces the window of exposure of a host as being accessible via an address that becomes revealed as a result of active communication.  This document obsoletes RFC 4941.', changed pages to 20, changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2021-02-28, changed IESG state to RFC Published, created obsoletes relation between draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis and RFC 4941)
