Maybe we can all do this stuff in our head, but I have found removing
unnecessary thinking from the equation is useful for those "3am"
moments.

Given that I am assigning a /48 to a site anyway, and 65k /64s is
"more than I will ever need", does it really matter if the
site-specific numbering plan isn't ruthlessly efficient?
