And then people will scream because someone setup a layout that hands out /128 addresses within a /64 pool.


There is that chance yes especially from access networks which use RA.

As this thread has drifted off topic any way, would it for instance be a good idea to simply not accept mail from hosts that clearly use autoconfig ie reject all smtp from EUI-64 addresses. Of course not a wise idea for your own outbound relays which should handle mail from your customers but on the incoming side it might as well save a lot of headache and there is no need to keep track of which /64 are access networks.

Just a few cents,
