Advanced users • Re: Why are my RPi 5's global IPv6 addresses based on their MAC address?

I just realised that my RPI Zero running 32-bit RaspiOS Bookworm has a global IPv6 address not based on it's MAC address, while my RPI 5's running 64-bit RaspiOS Bookworm all have a global IPv6 addresses based on their MAC address. Isn't that a security risk?

The main differences are that the RPi Zero has a Ethernet adaptor, and boots from an SD card, while the RPi 5's network boot.

So, why aren't the RPi 5's creating a temporary global IPv6 address, instead of using the MAC address to create one?
Possibly because "IPv6 netboot is an experimental alpha feature"
Actually, there are network booting on IPv4, because my TFTP server can't detect IPv6 address!
