You're contradicting yourself here. Yes, you're right about the technical
solution, but it's not as easy (you need backend systems). Also, not all
products support the variability of subnet lengths that the standard
allows.
So if you're not mapping the entire space (actually some products only
allow /32 IPv6 space) 1-1 you're making the whole solution harder due to
complexity in your backend system plus you're limiting the amount of
customer gear that will support the solution.
