I stand by the position that "/126 is better than /64 because /126 is not
/64" is a nonsensical argument. Saying "/126 is better than /64 due to
reasons A, B, C, ..." will likely be more effective - well, depending on
what A, B and C are. But I haven't heard much in the way of supporting
evidence from you other than "my network uses lots of prefix lengths thus
/64 is bad". That in itself is not convincing to me. Perhaps I am missing
something else you said?

"Conflicts with the NTT backbone" != "conficts with almost every deployed
backbone". The backbone I am familiar with uses a combination of /127, /64,
and link-local point to point interfaces, or at least it did last time I
checked.

Also, backbone networks are a tiny percentage of the links on the planet.
