[Devel] Re: [PATCH 3/4] Add IPv6 address checkpoint handler

I again have to plead ignorance here.  Do permanent addresses ever
have anything other than INFINITY_LIFE_TIME?  Assuming not, I think
it's reasonable (for now, at least) to stick to (correctly) saving and
restoring the permanent addresses.  What do you think?
