There was no need to fix what wasn't broken.
Luckily, /64 looks like large enough to bypass that by offering address space sufficiently large while co-existable with legacy addressing and routing.
Why on earth would you be messing around within /64? It should be easy enough to get a /48 (it certainly is now).
I hope eventually somebody will start tinkering with mesh radios which also have GPS onboard (as most smartphones and tablets do). 24 + 24 + 16 bits are just enough to represent a decent-resolution WGS84 position fix. Plus, GPS gives you a pretty accurate clock.
That could be an interesting project. Limiting it to a /64 still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Owen
