To be honest, I can't work out the point of preferring a /64 in the first place if
you're not using SLAAC and I'm not sure why SLAAC wanted more than 48
bits.

If you use broad ACLs to lock down to a /126 or /112 equivalent, why bother with
the /64 in the first place?

However, I'm new to the IPv6 business, so I'm sure I'll work it out eventually.
