Well, this wasn't a server, this is installed as a desktop.

Who are "they"?

It's strangem it looks like they still have the kernel to process RAs? 
Doesn't it seem like the kernel now has support for the kind of stable 
non-EUI64 based addresses from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7217 ?

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/251401/cannot-read-key-net-ipv6-conf-all-stable-secret-in-sysctl 
seems to indicate that the error message below is because the secret isn't 
set? So potentially if I set the secret I'll get the same address every 
time? Let's try...

$ sudo sysctl -a | grep net.ipv6.conf | grep -i eth0
