4) For link local to work "nicely", mDNS name resolution should be
installed and available by default. Avahi can provide such a service
for ipv6.
Avahi doesn't work for IPv6 link-local addresses and GLIBC doesn't even allow
nss-mdns to work. This only works with FreeBSD libc and patched Avahi/nss-mdns.

By default, Avahi doesn't work for IPv6 at all, as Lennart swithed it back to
IPv4-only.

This is what one of the next features will be about:

But I can't fix all of that myself and do my regular work in just one release :).
