during playing around with RFC3041 capability in Linux kernel, I
recognized that the toggle (e.g. net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr) in
sysctl is only recognized if interface state changes from down to up,
which means you can't enable RFC3041 on an already running interface.

Not quite true. net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr is recognized, but 
new temporary addresses is created only when new public address is created
(by specification).

Is this 

a) by design
b) temporary issue, will be solved later
c) bug, will be solved soon

a

and even b; we can probably extend our implementation 
to create temprary address when net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr is
changed  from 0 to 1.

Any news on that? Have you plans to implement it?
