I had to read the commit message to find out that you mean multiple 
lowpan interfaces on one wpan interface here. And not multiple lowpan 
interface on one machine which I thought first. :)

The later has for sure enough use cases :)

I don't have a use case for the former (the one you remove here) either. 
Still we might want to consider this as an RFC here to give folks a 
moment to speak up with they use this.

Just back from vacation and catching up with to many things. I can give 
this a test on my setup next week if you want.
