Generating and re-generating new temporary addresses seems to be a useless 
work and just new addresses unless they're being used at least by some 
applications.

set default to 0 (don't use it) for now is ok?

Sure, ok for me.  (I'm assuming we'll be able to change the default at 
some point when more knowledge and experience is gained but we're talking 
about at least a year or two here, I think).

(This is why I never perceived privacy addresses as a critical work item 
at the moment -- e.g. multicast routing might be more interesting.)

I don't know how Dave and Alexey feel, of course.
