The ipv6 zealots talking about anything but a /64 for end-site are talking about a "business class" service. Even with my static IPs at home, I have no need for more than a single /64 to be used in my wildest dreams. I could live with ~256 ips for the future. I consider my tech density "above-average".
I don't agree at all. I have 3 /64s in use in my home already. I could fairly easily go down to 2, but I definitely need at least 2.
I don't want to handle people like me differently, thus /56 for all residential customers makes a lot of sense. I see no downside.

The downside is that it doesn't provide enough bits for certain kinds of auto-topology management that are being considered by CE vendors. I highly recommend /48 instead. Owen
