handling the v6 table is not currently hard (~2600 prefixes) while long

Because we expect far fewer end users to multihome tomorrow than do today?
The opposite, but a clean slate means multihomed networks with many v4
prefixes may be able to be a multihomed network with just one v6 prefix.
Assuming RIR policy allows multi-homers to be allocated/assigned
enough v6 to grow appreciably without having to go back to the RIR. As
a multi-homed end-user, I don't currently find that to be the case.
It will be the case for many mid-sized businesses.

Both my previous and current employer, in switching from IPv4 to IPv6 will drop from 7 and 4 advertisements (fully aggregated) to 1. I don't anticipate either ever having needs larger than the single initial allocation they have or would get. Both are multi-homed.
