Doing this would violate section 5.1 of the RDM standard which requires that "The 32-bit device ID shall be unique throughout all products manufactured under a specific Manufacturer ID..."

It's also a bad idea. It will probably work most of the time, but could cause problems in systems that have multi-port proxies, mergers, or multi-port responders.
