indeed. That would be weird and cause all kinds of operational problems.

But more importantly - why at all?
It's not a waste of addresses, this has been discussed 68060 times on various mailinglists
and at other places. The usual answer to such statements simply is "do the math!", for a 
reason.

There are some issues with /64 default segments, like it causes some possible attack vectors on
the infrastructure, but there are no issues with the size itself compared to the 128bit we have.

So, "do the math!" :-)
