Ok, I'll bite. In all seriousness, what are the concrete use cases of
limiting subnet sizes? So far I've heard:

   - "I only need 3 addresses" (but not "I only need 3 addresses and here's
   why I can't accept 2^64 instead of 3")
   - ND exhaustion attacks

What else? You don't have to list them here, a pointer to a previous
message will do.
