It might look like a /64, but you only use ::1 and ::2 and those are
effectively static and effectively it is a /127 without the anycast issue.

Heck, some people pick a /120 for it or whatever they find nice.
Configuration wise and counting wise /64 is just handy. And if one day
you have multi-access on that link, well, no re-numbering, just enable it.

There is no subnet, only ::2, the rest you can ignore.

Test it out today and complain to your vendor ;)
