Most times it works well. There are some special cases where neighbors of 
nodes with multiple similar IPs have problems to get a good idea of the LQs of 
their twohop-neighbor links. Because they are only identified by interface-
IPs.

We have a working patch that every node only has one "routable" IP, so you can 
(most times) just use IPv6 linklocal IPs for your interfaces. The only IPs 
propagated beyond your neighborhood will be your "global" IP and your attached 
networks (HNAs).
