You might not care to do that now...  but in 20 years,  when you have

My helpdesk decided to counter with "We'll run out because of the nanobots we'll be injected with to cure cancer and other diseases." They just don't understand the fact that a single /64 network is plenty to handle all the nanobots in the human body (supposing we're still going to be human). Of course, the nanobots really do need their own isolated subnet. They do a lot of multicast, I'm guessing.
