Huh? I don't see that assumption anywhere. The /64 for hosts isn't so
much "we expect trillions of hosts per subnet" so much as it is "we'd
like to make host-address uniqueness trivial, oh and we'd like to be
able renumber lots for privacy reasons without collissions, oh and we'd
like to avoid ever having to renumber a lan just because it was too
small at time of inception".
