I expect that in ~3 years, we will see dual-stack and /64's handed out in conjunction with an IPv4 address as "common".

The ipv6 zealots talking about anything but a /64 for end-site are talking about a "business class" service.  Even with my static IPs at home, I have no need for more than a single /64 to be used in my wildest dreams.  I could live with ~256 ips for the future.  I consider my tech density "above-average".
