There is no resource that cannot be pissed away, if you try hard enough.
We currently have 72 million billion /56:es. If we do /56:es of the current /16 being handed out and then change our mind, we can still hand out 1100 billion /56:es before we can discover this was wasteful and then we will have spent one 65536th of the address space available.
Philosophical:You know, if we are just going to act as if ipv6 has only 64 bits, why didnt we just design it with only 64?
Practical: Think of the routing table. How many /48's in a /32?
Give people a /56 and if they only use one NOW,
Give people a /96. Thats a whole internet. Whats that? They resurrected classfull addressing for ipv6?
