The good thing with IPv6 is autoconfiguration. There is no need to renumber.
With the radvd daemon running your box builds its own ip as soon as you
plug it in.

If your box is allowed then give it a global address from the radvd.
Your box does not care about the changed address. It will happyly use it.

Unfortunately the autoconfiguration did not fix the combined identifier and network address issue both ipv4 and ipv6 have.
If it would have done that, multihoming would not be an issue with ipv6 today. (and probably neither with ipv4)
