I'm sure the Really Smart People over at the IETF could have figured
out a way to do auto configuration with "just" 16 bits of /112 (or
a /48 of 64 bit space).

It will be interesting to see if things evolve to using /112's anyway
just to escape auto configuration.  I use them for router links and 
server subnets because it's a convenient boundary for notation.
