Don't worry - they have far better and easier ways of tracking you. They 
probably do not even want to bother with IP addresses as it is nowhere 
near a reliable eyeball-identifier compared to the alternatives :-)

As a option for the paranoid I suppose having the DHCPv6-PD client 
release and rotate IA ID's once in a while could work. No idea if the 
RFC's say anything about this. Too lazy to check, but my upstream do 
change the prefixes if I change the IA ID's so at least it sort of works.
