I don't know to be honest. What do you think, does that argument make
sense? I don't really understand why it should be different whether
you're using DHCPv6 or SLAAC, but maybe it's just me not getting

If it's fine, then feel free to drop the patch and upload a NM with
adjusted regexes (preferrably committing to the VCS too).
