Umm.. Jeff? I never *tried* to deny the problem exists. But if you have an eyeball-heavy network, it's hard to not deploy /64s (currently, we do SLAAC to get the basic config, and DNS/etc is still via dhcp4/IPv4). We just see the business danger of waiting to start deploying IPv6 till the vendors are perfect as being a bigger danger than the ND exhaustion issue. (How many years did we go with ARP and DHCP spoofing being well-known issues before vendors fixed that? Yeah, exactly.)
