I don't think it is a good idea at all. In fact it is a terrible idea.
If we need anything well known, they should be addresses (of the
appropriate scope), not just interface IDs, which then must be assuming
some particular size for of interface ID space for all nets, forever, which
is another terrible idea (the 64 built into whichever RFC it is is
just bogus ... note I don't mean the IPv6 over foobar specs, there it
makes sense).
