Ah, I see what you mean now. However, the devision is a done deal as
RFC 3513 mandates that all unicast IPv6 addresses except the ones
starting with the bits 000 must have a 64-bit interface identifier in
the lower 64 bits. This has some important advantages, most notably it
allows stateless autoconfiguration. (However, this could have been
done
with 48 bits too.) But it does have the downside you mention by only
leaving 64 bits for numbering subnets. The practice of giving all
sites
a /48 further deminishes the available bits.
Wow ... it's even worse than I thought! Why bother even going to IPv6?
so you are making claims and comments on something you don't even have
bothered to read the basic documentation on. Wow.
