Folks,

Just bringing this question to the mailing-list as we ran out of time 
for more discussion:

How anti-abuse changes (if it does) when talking about IPv6?

You can certainly assume a user has been assigned a /64, but the user 
could also get anything ranging from /48 to /64... and I'm told some VPS 
providers give their "users" a single IPv6 address (/128).

Thanks,
--
