In the current form of this proposal, it looks kind of optional ("We propose this optional change, to improve..."). I propose removing the line which contains "this optional change" and changing the following:
In practice, each operating system has a different way of detecting IPv6 address privacy extensions. And some operating systems may not tell applications if a particular address is using privacy extensions. So implementing this change may be difficult.

In practice, each operating system has a different way of indicating if an IPv6 address comes from a privacy extension or not. Usually the operating system also returns the state of each available address: "public" - the ones that does not change, and which Tor should use "temporary" - the ones that come from privacy extensions Tor should always ask for and use a "public" IPv6 addresses to build relay descriptor.
What's the downside of using "temporary" IPv6 addresses from privacy extensions?
I mean, isn't better privacy a good thing?
