Speaking with my AC hat on and as a co-shepherd for this policy. For the 
record, I am not the author, but I, like many others deploying IPv6 in their 
own datacenters, would stand to benefit from this particular policy change.

Paul - I believe your assessment is correct. This language is intended to 
capture the use case where a /64 may be allocated to a virtual network (for 
example, routing a /64 to a hypervisor or k8s pod or node) as well as a 
physical network, which is what the current policy accounts for. As is, 
accounting for multiple VMs with independent IPs must be done on a per-VM 
basis, and AFAIK can’t be counted as individual /64s for usage-based 
justification. 

If the community finds this language unacceptably unclear, suggestions on 
different approaches to capturing this use case in language would be welcome :)
