isn't the dicsussion here really:
"If you want to use /64 go ahead, if you want to use /121 go for it, if you want to use SLAAC you'll get a /64 and like it"
"If you want to use /64 go ahead, if you want to use /121 go for it, if you want to use SLAAC you'll get a /64 and like it"
which fits both the interconnect problem space and the home-consumer problem space. The change outlined ~6 messages back seemed to be a more officious way to say what my quoted bit above says, and seemed just fine for both use cases.
