Strongest argument so far. Besides the point that I agree
with the argument a /32 is probably oversized, be it v6 or
not.

Now that we have to take special care of the filters we
place anyway, why not do one approach, and that's pretty
much it.

Yes, excellent point, I agree with that for sure! I do not
want to think of some fancy BGP Flap Damping advisories that
gives me 7 /32 blocks I should not be damping or so. Argh.
