Well I disagree.  In the multi-hop network below only /64 prefixes are 
present in Routers' routing tables, no /128 (host-based) routes:


   -----  wifi "adhoc1"  ------  wifi "adhoc2"  ------- "adhoc3"-----
  |Host1|---------------|Router|---------------|Router2|-------|Host2|
   ----- LL1    P1   LL2 ------ LL3   P2   LL4  -------LL5 P3  LL6---
         G1                                                    G4

           P1, P2, P3: /64 prefixes, such as:
                       2001:db8:1::/64
                       2001:db8:2::/64 and
                       2001:db8:3::/64

Would this kind of use of /64 prefixes alleviate the need to 
propagate/delete /128 prefixes throughout the network?
