Since you're such an expert, care to elaborate? In some repects IPv6 is more secure than IPv4. One common attack in IPv4 is to ping all the addresses until something is found to attack. According to one article I read recently, to do so in a single /64 subnet, it would take some 5000 years to find a host to attack. A /64 subnet is the smallest an ISP can hand out.
I have heard of /96 and /112 being handed out by small local ISPs around here. I don't know if they're still doing it.
