You are to be commended for your leadership in conserving space. Our children will surely be grateful that thanks to your efforts they have 99.99999% of IPv6 space left to work with rather than the paltry 99.9975% that might have been their inheritance were it not for your efforts. Bravo!
I have a feeling that IP addresses will now be used in ways that people have not envisioned them being used before. Given a surplus of any resource, people find creative ways of using it.
Which just reinforces the argument that we ought to give people /48s rather than /56es, /60s, or /64s even though those with a failure of imagination may not be able to figure out a reason anyone would need that much space. -r
