well... we actually intend to just announce /64's and smaller as well.

i'm rather for a "specification" of a minimum supported route-size (let's say something along the lines of 64GB in each border router, it's 2012 after all ;) than for putting limits on the prefix sized announced so "old junk" can still stay connected to the internet.
let's say, there is 6 billion people in the world.. if they all have 1 route table entry (average ;) i see no technical limitations on anything produced AFTER 2008 actually.
stop buying crap without sufficient ram, or just scrap it and get new stuff. (which you're going to have to do to efficiently route ipv6 -anyway- at some point, as your old stuff, simply doesn't even loadbalance trunked ethernet ports properly (layer 3 based) ;)
