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.
