Okay, I'm just curious, what size do you (and other's of similar opinion)
think the IPv6 space _should_ have been in order to allow us to not have to
jump through conservation hoops ever again?  128 bits isn't enough, clearly,
256?  1k?  10k?

Hi Brandon,

There is no bit length which allocations of /20's and larger won't
quickly exhaust. It's not about the number of bits, it's about how we
choose to use them.
