I thought the server doesn't make a new assignment for IA_NA or IA_PD
when the server finds the lifetimes of the currently (IPv6) address or
prefix cannot be extended.  And I thought this specification somehow
deliberately differs from these cases.  But on re-reading RFC8415 I've
noticed this:

   The server may choose to change the list of addresses or delegated
   prefixes and the lifetimes in IAs that are returned to the client.

It doesn't seem to discuss the implication of being unable to extend
the lifetimes regarding this behavior, but I now see that assigning a
different resource (IPv6 address or prefix, or in this draft's case,
L2 address) in response to Renew.

So please simply ignore this comment.
