Vague handwaving doesn't help us find consensus here. I've already expressed that the current /48 is a restriction -- i would be more in favour of allowing LIRs to assing /56s, BUT allowing end-users to grow upto /48s without any questions asked. :-) >> On the other hand, do we really believe is a problem to have a protocol that >> might last for "only" 60-100 years?

IPv6 is already deployed in a very small subset of the public IPv4 Internet's nodes. Really, i'm a bit more concerned now about seeing that subset grow... But if IPv6's time span starts to be limited, i would rather work on IPv-whatever-next deployment :-) (my 2 cents and a swedish-half-crown...)
