Description
### What is wrong?
https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/increasing-address-size-from-20-to-32-bytes/5485
At some point the protocol is likely to expand addresses to 32-bytes. There may be assumptions that are being made about addresses that could at minimum be aware that this change is coming.
### How can it be fixed
:shrug:
Just be ready for this.... in whatever way is appropriate.

The issue provides no concrete completion criteria, so scope and a definition of done need to be agreed before implementation.
