to play with (eg 10/8), they start doing things like using bits in the address as flags for things. Suddenly you find yourself using a prefix that should enough for a decent sized country in a half-rack.Which is, of course, a core design philosophy for IPv6. Stateless autoconfig relies on the fact that each network will be allocated 2^64 address.
I'm actually pretty happy about /64's, they take away all the hand-wringing over how big a network should be, and they make manually configured server addresses easier to remember through the use of big regions of 0s. I was thinking more about wasting prefix bits. -Anthony
