One of the goals of providing larger address spaces was to reduce (and hopefully eliminate) the need to burn forwarding table entries where doing so isn't strictly necessary. When we forget this, it leads us to the same sorts of disasters that we currently have in v4.

And if you are encouraging /48 handouts, /32 isnt large enough to prevent that on the global level.
What remains to be seen is what will happen when someone says "hey, my /32 is full, I need another one". Will it be: a) Sure, here's another /32, have fun! b) You didn't subnet very efficiently by current standards even though it was encouraged in the past; try to reclaim some space internally. ~Seth
