 One of the points in having 64 bits reserved for the host

individual addresses

Well, that turned out to be a farce. Instead of worrying about running
out of addresses on the lan, you have to worry about other people
tracking your mobile users through their static 64 bit tail (SLAAC) or
having trouble internally tracking your users (privacy extensions).
Give me the straightforward problem over the subtle one any time.
