So let me get this straight- home nodes advertise their /26, which is how
the network knows how to get return traffic back to any given client?
Wouldn't giving clients ipv6 addresses result in the problems with many of
the ipv4 only protocols that were mentioned at the start of the thread?

Hi!
Windows is the only major OS that "does it
right" and uses the
alternate strategy for ipv6 self-assignment which was added to the
standars later, namely "randomly generate".
This is called:

Linux folks are being stubborn and want to stick
to the default that
is specified in the standars as the default.
Seems Ubuntu fixed this in 2011 or 2012:
