IPv6 Default Allocation - What size allocation are you giving out

[faisal at snappytelecom.net (Faisal Imtiaz)]

Fair point....

just as a follow up question... is giving a /64 to a Residential Customer not a good idea, because it would not allow them to have additional routed segments ? (since Best Practices is to use a /64 on each link as link connectivity address) or is there some other reasoning that I am failing to see/ understand ?
