The suggestion is that we can drop the network_interface parameter for the IPv6 case, and instead use the scope_id parameter to specify the interface.

Technically it is possible to make this change, but i don't think they are semantically the same thing. Where I have had complaints about the present interface, it is that it does not provide a version-independent network_interface representation. Nobody has complained that it is not using the address's scope_id.
