Agreed, but (in my mind, usual disclaimer) aggregation in IPv6 is far 
easier?!!!!

Unlike now where 20% (at my last look, again disclaimer) of the prefixes 
could be aggregated. Even with "PI" recipients it should only add 1 to 
the table, not all the /64s (analoguous to ISPx announcing all the /24s 
in a /19).

Agreed, except they (well RIPE certainly) have stated there will be no 
PI space.  Even LIRs that cannot plan to issue 200 /64s have to get 
space from a LIR that can.
