I’ve long wondered about this also, though as I have a stable prefix I’ve not bothered to actually do anything.

Fundamentally it doesn’t seem so different from changing the full 128 bit addresses? The potential need to update config files/DNS/hosts seems the same, maybe also tell services to reload configs, etc.

I’m interested, but not feeling particularly optimistic.
