Using the HD-ratio the utilization threshold for /48 is 1 which means a
47 is justified, upgraded to /44 by nibble alignment.  For comparison,
IPv4 policy requires only 50% initial utilization, IPv6 LIR policy
requires 0% initial utilization and at most 0.3% after a few years. 
Giving some room to grow helps avoid fragmentation.
