The confusion aired from Usman is also with me.

The potential address overlap in lower-64 bit space while assigning prefix
longer than /64 (in RFC5375) seems to me a valid concern.I am wondering if
the community regarded these potential address overlaps are no longer of
concerns at all while RFC 6164 was published.
