| I think you are suggesting that the draft be changed to reuse the FEC0::/10
| space with a resulting 38-bit global ID. This would allow for
| 274,877,906,944 prefixes, or 30 per person in 2050.
I trust your calculations, so assuming they were all going to be unique,
then yes, 50 years from now people wouldn't be able to have more than 30
or so non-routable /48's each (oh, such suffering!)
But of course, they're not going to be unique, and don't have to be, so in
practice, the limit per person would be much much higher (not quite
274,877,906,944 each, as the user will want to remain distinct from some
others, but perhaps within a few orders of magnitude of that).
