The thing is, IPv6 is 128 bits of address space, so a /64 for your home 
*really* should be enough to have >1 machine online at a time.

It'll be a lot easier to change the subnetting rules inside small

all cases, but especially home users who need things like their DNS 
entries set up for them by their "router".
