There is nothing wrong with 6RD in principle, it's when people map the 
entire IPv4 space into IPv6 blindly and then use a small fraction of it 
that it becomes wasteful.

I don't have a problem with ISPs will millions of subscribers getting a 
/24, I have a problem when "every" mom and pop ISP with an AS number is 
getting a /24 because they want to run 6RD.

As long as the policy incurs that you need to have a certain amount of 
customers to warrant running 6RD using all of IPv4 space and thus needing 
/24 or /28, otherwise you'd better map a smaller part of it and then 
you'll be able to fit it just fine into your /32 most likely.
