Since most providers will likely need something larger than a  /32, I'm not a big fan of the idea of setting up an APNIC-Like Easy IPv6 "Push here for a /32" button.

get a warning to strongly consider requesting a larger v6 block and
not using the easy button.

The potential downside is that a lot of folks have multiple org
id's/accounts - and may end up getting multiple v6 blocks when it
might not be necessary.  No need to replicate the shortcomings of v4
subnetting/design into v6.
