Not even all that strange, after all it lets the ISP manage the network
in a pretty straightforward way. The hard part about this is that there
doesn't seem to be a good way in DHCPv6 to ask for "I need X networks of
width Y" and have the upstream choose between a single narrower net or
multiple networks. Multiple prefixes returned in the DHCPv6-PD request
is supposed to mean that those prefixes should be used in parallel, not
that they should be portioned out.
