Also, another thing I've noticed is that the link local, global unique and unique local addresses all have different suffixes, whereas previously they were all the same. When was this 'previously' - pre 15.0 ?
Yes. I've had IPv6 on my home network for almost 10 years. My DNS, both local and public, contains MAC based addresses.
As I mentioned, there is also a /128 address, which is pretty much useless on a computer, though often used on routers. I don't see one of those: (a 15.1 desktop machine)
This is with 15.0 on my notebook:

According to above, you are using MAC based addresses. Look at the link/ether line and the bottom two inet6 lines. The first is a global address and the 2nd link local. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
