I find it weird that the IEEE manages to allocate a unique 48 bit MAC address
to each ethernet / wifi interface and that the RIRs would be unable to
allocate 40 bit unique numbers to companies with 40000 employes.

Can you eleborate on the too small part.

Of course, we are talking about averages. There may be some big VM hosts
that may need more. Some simple devices may not need any /64.
