If this is true, then for 10.0.0.0/8 we'll get 16M addresses? And for
2002::/16 -- 2^112! Where will we store that much?! Even 2001:x:y:z::/64
(which is realistic when IPv6 will get some steam) is too much to be
named individually.

No, /CIDR gets expanded only to the nearest octet boundary. couriertcpd already handles "a.b <entry>" directly. 10.0.0.0/15 gets expanded only to "10.0" and "10.1".
