The /48, which is the minimum assignment towards that endsite must stay. Otherwise there will be ISP's who are going to give out /56's, /58's, /60's, /62's etc. The reason for the _minimum_ of a /48 is that when you want to change over to another ISP that you can get the equally sized /48. Or do you want to get, say, 3 IPv6's IP's from your upstream ISP? If you are so extremely big that you need multiple /48's (which contain 65k /64's as you will know) you are also more than capable of getting your own TLA under the new proposed #gamma policy, and most people will most likely going to just that for a large amount of reasons, especially because they simply want 'an entry in the routing table'...
