It would certainly be a darkgrayhat move to do such a thing. It would be effective at deprecating SSNs as identifiers but would cause a lot of pain and suffering for a lot of people in the interim.

I don’t have much worry about the use of SSNs as an identifier; it’s the fact of knowing them being used as an authentication mechanism which continues to puzzle me.

  Sorry, I misspoke, but yes deprecating them for authentication would be the goal.
