The same problems as with 2.4; source address selection is .. very simple,
one could say. USAGI have implemented new RFC-candidate src address
selection rules from KAME, and those will hopefully be merged to
mainstream at some point; I view this as rather important (one reason is
because 3ffe/2001 vs 2002 selection does not work, which could optimize
traffic enermously in some cases :-)

Use:
# ip -f inet6 addr del 2002:c08b:2e21:2:260:97ff:fe04:3d70/64 dev eth0
(or just ip -6 addr del [...])
