Let's face it - the current v6 assignment rules are to solve a 1990s set of problems. A /64 isn't needed now that we have DHCP(v6).
It's needed to prevent people from NATing in v6, as they'll still want their stuff behind a firewall, and some of them will want subnets.
Setting the idea in people's heads that a /64 IS going to be their own statically is insane and will blow out provider's own routing tables more than is rational.
No larger than their ARP tables are now.
