The first example that came to mind was one in the Android 464xlat
implementation. This takes the IPv6 prefix configured on the interface,
fills the bottom 64 bits with randomness, adjusts the middle bytes to make
the result checksum-neutral, and uses that as the IID. If we change the IID
to != 64 bits, then that code becomes incorrect.
