We can (in a different, unrelated document, that has nothing to do with
the problem we are discussing :-) ) discuss trade-offs between stable vs
dynamic prefixes, and provide advice on how to achieve each.

as expecting to solve the problem being discussed by having ISPs to
change their existing deployments according to a "mandate" from our side....
