Well, /112 is not a stupid option (and is far smarter than /64): it contains the whole last nibble of an IPv6, that

You always put 1 or 2 at the end, and if needed you are still able to address additional stuff would the 
point-to-point link become a LAN.
And you don't throw away billions of addresses like with /64.
If you were subnetting down from /64 for the purposes of preventing ndp
exhaustion or to protect the control plane  on either yours or your
customers platforms then a /112 is pretty useless because 16 bits is
harmful enough.

I think this is funny... I have (4) 10 gig internet connections and here's
the maskings for my v6 dual stacking...

/126 - telia

/112 - cogent
/127 - twc/charter/spectrum
112... Could be worse I suppose. They could have picked 113.
