Same here.  For similar reasons.  Eventually, CGAs and SEND might show
up, and then I might want /64s - and since a single /48 will be sufficient
to number all routers we'll ever have, I stopped doing my IPv4 worries
("oh, this is all so wasteful") here.

I wouldn't want to enter a religious war here, though.  /64s might be
useful one day, or might be not.  /120 and /112 work as well.  So pick
something you're comfortable with.
