   Linux IPv6 does appear to use random IPv6 address for outbound   
   connections, which have a limited lifespan. This appears to be something   
   like 1-7 days, but if very short lifespans were used it could offer a   
   protection similar to NAT. I need to investigate a bit further, but I   
   don't think IPv6 needs to be inherently less safe.
