You're overlooking intermediate hierarchies, and loss involved with that.

Can it be made to work?  Of course.

Can we have another quintillion for everybody's k8s clusters, and another
one for every desktop PC with VMs on it?  Of course.

Will we wake up to see that the start of this plan wasn't the best of ideas?


So, no, assigning whole /64s to large-numbered device types (unless they 
serve as routers for one or more subnets, in which case I *do* support 
delegating at least one standard-subnet-size per subnet) is not something
I think we should do.  Balance needs to be found.
