I don't think this is the case, at all.

I hear job/randy/nick/stefan/michael all saying: "Hey /64 for SLAAC and the
like is great, but keep in mind I need to be able to configure longer
prefixes.. so don't make /64 (and /127) the ONLY options"

The reasoning for the 'not the only options' text is precisely because
we've all run into vendors that made poor assumptions about ipv6 prefix
lengths over time :( We (or I at least) noted that 'classful' constructs
don't survive long term, so avoiding them where we know they aren't helpful
is a great step forward.

I agree that we need to finalize this standard, but... do want to make sure
I'm not boxed into a corner :)
