This is where I think there is a major disconnect on IPv6. The size of the pool is just so large that people just can't wrap their heads around it. 2^128 is enough space for every man, woman and child on the planet to have around 4 billion /64s to themselves. Even if we assume everyone might possibly need say 10 /64s per person that still means we are covered until the population hits around 2,600,000,000,000,000,000.
