Sure, but different access technologies use different deployment models.

Unfortunately, any time this discussion happens on 6man or v6ops, 
generalisations are made about the entire ipv6 networking ecosystem 
based on speculation about perceived worst-case situations in specific 
networking models, often cellular / mobile.

There's more to ipv6 than service provider access models, and there's 
more to ipv6 service provider access models than just cellular.  We 
should not accept as a working group that discussion about /64 is 
consistently driven into the ditch because people consistently steer the 
discussion in the direction of some specific access technology models 
and then make unsubstantiated claims relating to those models.  6man 
needs to move past this.
