> But since nobody seemed to care for the last 14 years

this is false.  some people have been fighting this for 20 years.
though the first years were more concentrated on fighting the TLS/NLA
insanity, which makes this /64 mess look minor.  for those of us trying
to deal with classful ipv6 for the last 20 years, this /64 issue is the
last clean-up.
