It is because of IEEE EUI-64 standard.
Right, so far.
It was believed at the time of IPv6 development that EUI-48 would run out of numbers and IEEE had proposed going to EUI-64. While IEEE still hasn't quite made that change (though Firewire does appear to use EUI-64 already), it will likely occur prior to the EOL for IPv6.
Wrong. It is because I pointed out that IEEE1394 already use EUI-64.
Since bits are free when designing a new protocol, there really was no reason to impose such limitations.
Bits are not free. Remembering a 64 bit value human, a 128 bit value divine, which makes IPv6 network operation hard. Masataka Ohta
