Right now, we might say "wow, 256 subnets for a single end-user... 
hogwash!" and in years to come, "wow, only 256 subnets... what were we 
thinking!?"

Well, what's the likelihood of the "only 256 subnets" problem?

There's a tendency to move away from (simulated) shared media networks.
"One host per subnet" might become the norm.
