Why would this be any easier to deploy than IPv6?
The problem with IPv6 deployment is that it requires a change across
the infrastructure. Adding 1 byte is no easier than adding 12. This
proposal loses the ability to aggregate routes and is thus completely
impractical.
And in any case, EUI48 MAC addresses will run out at some point in the
not too distant future which is why modern protocols are using EUI64
addresses.

a compromise between IPv4 and IPv6:
draft-zaitsev-e6-network-00.txt
the gist : IP address is extended up to 6 octets and put directly into
MAC-address field of Ethernet frame
the zest : Ethernet LLC2 is used instead of TCP
the best : no address mapping, enlargement in 16K times, headers cut off
