When I install server systems or systems that are otherwise somehow very 
important (say, firewalls/router systems) I disable stateless automatic 
IPv6 configuration.  There is no point to have it enabled on a server 
system and I would argue that it is dangerous to do so.

That said, I think it should be enabled on all systems that users sit 
down at, and nets should be monitored for unfamiliar RAs so that they 
can be found and removed.
