All you need is ~256 hosts if you're multihomed, ~1024 if you're not. If
that's "fairly restrictive", well, put up a policy proposal to lower the bar
for both v4 and v6. There was one during the last policy cycle, and it was
shot down -- not for routing slot reasons, but due to fears of spammers.
Another attempt, with more attention to that issue, may succeed.
