Think there are work being done on the topic? However, how are you
going to interconnect all of this private peerings? It sort of imply
that everyone need to have their own netblock they can exchange with
others.

Mobile IPv6 gives one way to run multiple devices in one subnet. Someone 
needs to be the HA though. And/or if future homes have multiple /64's, it's 
not infeasible to dedicate one or more to virtual/overlay LANs.

It serves no purpose as long as there's an underlying customer/provider
relationship, because it's the provider that is suborned by the government
agency.
