All my hosts that are in some way Internet exposed have ACLs of
some sort - call it "Windows firewall" or "FreeBSD pf(4)".

Usually these implicitly understand what is needed to make ND work,
but I've heard more than once about cases where Linux people blocked
"everything on input except tcp/80" with ip6tables, killing ND in the 
process -> bam, machine fell of the net, IPv6 gone.
