One of the key things with IPv6 (IMHO) is to stop thinking about addresses,

may not have that quite right and the key might even be to think about
hierarchies - in either case counting the number of individual addresses is
something we just don't need to do any more.

s/think about networks/think about subnetworks (colloquial: LAN Segments)/ 

With IPv6, the number of hosts in a subnet is (should be) no longer a driver for addressing.
