What seems like a great idea today becomes tomorrow's "what the f*** were they thinking".
However, this statement doesn't provide any actual guidance, as it's potentially equally applicable to the "give each end customer a /48" crew and the "Give them all a /56" crew..... Actually, not true - in fact, it's demonstrable that a residential customer can run through a /56. Just get a largish house, put up one router using CeroWRT (or, I suspect a current/recent OpenWRT) that burns through 6-7 subnet allocations), and then put a second one at the other end of the house and it burns through 6-7. The second one has to dhcp-pd request at least 3 bits for itself, which leaves the first one only 5 bits, of which *it* will burn at least 3. If you create any VLANs at all, you just burned 4 and 4 bits, and there goes that /56. And that's burned all the subnets in a /56 *just hooking up 2 plug and play routers*. There's none left for doing anything experimental/different. (And I suspect Dave Taht can provide several CeroWRT config checkboxes that will each burn another 1-3 bits each if you click on them and hit "apply" :)
