Let me rephrase the question. I asked for use cases for longer-than-/64
prefixes and listed the ones I have seen so far:

   - "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

Do you have additional use cases? "This is the way we've done it for 20
years" is not a use case.
