Restricting all subnets to The One True Size(tm) of /64 is utterly
ridiculous. Sure, that may be an artificial limitation of SLAAC and
various other technologies, but *those* can have limitations.
Limiting it inside the entire specification is even stupider of an idea
than still supporting Classful networks.
As an implementation, OpenBSD will never add such a crazy thing. And
you know that many other implementations won't do so either.
I strongly oppose this draft.

Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
