It's not entirely misleading if you can imagine a certain government requiring registration of devices before allowing access to networks like the Internet.

I'm not sure I see how IPv6 would really make that any easier? Privicy extensions or not...
Forging a MAC address is trivial.. If that's all you use to enforce the registration, it will be trivial to bypass!
And - if government wants to do this.. There are easier ways.
