I think this is a bad idea.
A simple change of a NIC card in a router will start a renumbering event,
and, although somehow simpler than in IPv4, IPv6 renumbering event are far
from painless.
On our servers, we recommend not to use staleless autoconfiguration based
on MAC addresses, but instead to use a locally administered token as interface ID.
Actually, our experience shows that in our environment, IPv4 addresses
are far more stable than MAC addresses.
