Actually no, what I was saying was literally to leave the addresses as /64s
and configure the first-hop router to route the /126 to the prefix. The
hosts won't care.


I also fear that the moment "disunited addressing & routing" become
commonplace, you'll find your devices on the dirty end of a
'/120 routed + /64 addressed'-link and have a dysfunctional experience.
As far as I know there is no way to signal host "only a /120 out of this
/64 is routed".


The host doesn't really need to know.
