Using /64s is insane because a) it's unnecessarily wasteful (no lectures on how large the space is, I know, and reject that argument out of hand) and b) it turns the routers/switches into sinkholes.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid, with millions
of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but
just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
