It still works. it should be noted though that I had to:

net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra=0
net.ipv6.conf.eth1.accept_ra=0
net.ipv6.conf.eth2.accept_ra=0
net.ipv6.conf.eth3.accept_ra=0
net.ipv6.conf.eth4.accept_ra=0

because sysctl.conf seems to be run after the interface comes up so 
usually my box comes up with a EUI64 address anyway (in addition to my 
static one), that I have to remove (manually since I'm too lazy to script 
it and I reboot seldom).
