My point was more that I've got an IPv4 /24 and use 10 addresses.   I've
got an IPv6 /56 and use 6 addresses (my media players etc don't do v6
yet).    The density of allocation has decreased by <insert depressingly
large number> (even if I just had a /64 for home) just to appease the
anti-NAT zealots worshipping at the altar of the RFC2462 god.   I hope
their puny stateful firewalls let the evil spirits into their networks
and corrupt their virgin servers.

PS.  History never repeats, I tell myself before I goto sleep.
