If you are routing the /64, thus that it exists entirely on the
clien-side, then it should work, but if you are allocating 1 single /64
to the customer, and eg keeping ::1 as the ISP side, then you have to do
weird magic to make that work.

That is IPv4 and seems to be the case in general for IPv4.
That mentality needs to be stopped for IPv6.

When an ISP is not going to provide /48's to endusers then RIPE NCC
should revoke the IPv6 prefix they received as they are not following
the reasons why they received the prefix for.
