A /56 is definitely better. Of course, I used to have 4 LANs just in
my house (wired, wireless, VPN to employer, "teen-net" to which certain
users were consigned for violation of the house AUP...). I suspect
there are others on this list with more than that, today.
Sure, we're power users. We're also talking about technology that's
been around for a while. If all of my lights were controlled over the
net, I'd probably want a separate subnet for that, for access control.
I might want a separate subnet for environmental controls, because
access problems there can result in physical damage. I really need to
set up a VPN for remote access to the house.
To quote a line from a science fiction book I'm fond of, "no artificial
shortages!"
