One way to look at this discussion is that to make aircraft ID part of an IPv6
address is like making the VIN part of a car's license plate number.

For cars it is obvious why we don't do that. For IPv4 it is clear why we 
would not do that. It seems that IPv6 enough bits to promote 'creativity'.
Same as putting IID generation types in link-local addresses. Clearly
the link local prefix has too many bits and should have been a /64.
