Don't I know it! Poorly designed protocol, but what're we gonna do?
I was of the "a /56 was bad enough, don't let the standard
what-people-expect slip to a /60" school. I'm pleased that the ARIN
AC passed 2010-12 with provision for getting a /24. Keeps the damage
from getting worse.
But for native deployment, absolutely just provision the /48.
