If you pay per interaction why would the stochastic token slot machine ever solve your problem on the first pull?

Oops, a Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the daemon that processes IPv6 Router Advertisements. That's not good.
I guess that makes today the day that I upgrade my 14.3 box to 15.0-RELEASE-p1.
