Hi Brian,

I think by default privacy addresses (option B) should be selected.

It is up to applications that require "stable" addresses to force the
other way around, and a quick guess is that this kind of applications
already do it by means of selecting a DNS name that should typically have
already a global stable address.

Regards,
Jordi
