I have long thought a mistaken in the pricing model was to top out
the pricing at a relatively "small" size.  While a /20 seems super
large today, that will eventually change.  In IPv4 we have ISP's
who've gotten more IP's for years now and stayed the same "size".  You
run out of names though, so perhaps the same sizes with different names
and a few more at the end?

Size A    -/32
Size B /31-/30
Size C /29-/27
Size D /26-/24
Size E /23-/20
Size F /20-/17
Size G /16-/12
Size H /11-/8
Size I /7-/1

Even though it might be years before someone has a /10 worth of
IPv6 space in the ARIN region, it would be nice to have a bucket
for them and not just have them keep paying the /20 rate forever.
