Speaking as a long-time IPv6 user, I see no real benefit in this.
Yes, a /29 means I have to set up 8 reverse DNS zones, instead of one.
Bummer.
And my IP management tool might need to learn about non-magic bit numbers
(but it will need to understand that anyway if I do reasonably-sized
internal suballocations, like "a /34 for a region" and not "a /36 because
the tool cannot do /34s").
"Just because ARIN does it" is also not a good reason to follow suit -
like, "lots of people going for /36 allocations, because /32 is too
big and, priced-by-size, too expensive"...
(But this is strictly my *personal* opinion. If there is sufficient
support in the WG, I'll shepherd a corresponding proposal, of course)

have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
