Agreed.  And also note that even for such applications, they should
accept the textual addresses with non-zero scope.  So cut & paste
still works well.
ex.
        new kernel                              old applications
        --------------------------------------------------------------
        fe80::1%link1   - old getnameinfo ->    fe80::1%536870913
                                                (fe80::1%0x20000001)
        fe80::1%link1   <- old getaddrinfo -
