I'm working on a research project where subnetting might actually be very
much appliccable, for example when you are using NEMO and you have several
mobile routers (each with its own /64 or bigger subnet), and you still want
to keep part of your entire prefix to be subnettable outside of the HA's
realm, then you may feel a little bit cramped by a /56.
To be honest, having 4 /58 ranges available is still quite enough not to be
very worried, but I don't feel comfortable when even before IPv6 has any
sort of acceptance, the freedom of a wide address space is already taken
away....
