There is some ISP who afraid their users will be reselling their
connectivity to other users around. While I didin't see that in years
(probably last time in 2005) but still this exist in poor regions.

I gotta say that, personally,  I think worrying about this is kind of silly. First, end-user connections don't have 
enough bandwidth to make sharing particularly appealing, especially in poor regions. Second, where it does happen, the 
ISP isn't really losing anything and it's not like they have some entitlement to the user not doing so. Third, 
addressing really isn't the hurdle that will stop this.


Other than that, completely agree on /56y default and /48 on request,
but most ISPs here are give-out just single /64.

Ugh.
