I'm puzzled as to why you might think that this would incentivise meaningful deployment of ipv6.

It removes the hurdle of working with the RIR and/or getting management buy-in to go negotiate for number resources. (Our personal experience as a community/end-user network is that ARIN wants justification for the minimum address space one can live with. At this early stage of deployment, that raises concerns over whether we have a workable address plan in place. We worked with ARIN to eventually get a /41 assigned. With the prospect of assigning /56s to every customer port we have on an edge switch, that's not going to last long. You can probably argue we got the initial request wrong, but it still means we have to go back and negotiate again, which we haven't found to be much fun. That's holding us back.) -- Tim:>
