I've reported a bug myself

	https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646703

but I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect network-manager to remove this
address given it didn't set it?  What happens where someone isn't using
network-manager?

I just wonder if the thing that configures the v6 address (the kernel,
right?) shouldn't also take responsibility for cleaning it up -- in which
case my bug is misplaced.
