But that's the issue - at the moment every human gets at least multiple 
/64s.  OK, this is still a very big number, but in practice we are 
talking about allocating /56s to real humans who ask nicely and /32s to 
those who ask "very nicely".  It's still a long way from allocating 
/128s (which you might imagine we are allocating given that we hand out 
/32s today)

It's really not hard to imagine thing going wrong either because of 
routing tables not being large enough or allocations being too large....

Tough call really...
