Please apply basic math 101 here.  There's 4 billion times the amount
of *networks* in IPv6 than the amount of single IP addresses in IPv4.

Normal LIRs in IPv6 get a /32 - so to "glomm" (whatever that means)
"large swathes", to have a significant impact on the 4 billion /32s 
out there (maybe only 500 million if you only count FP001), they will 
have to come back *fairly* often for new /32s.

Size does matter.
