Only dishing out a /64 is entirely reasonable IMHO. SLAAC requires /64 bit prefix so you cannot use it in such case. This requires additional infrastructure and settings in case autoconfiguration is desired. I'm not sure I get your point, Andrei?
With other than /64 prefix, SLAAC doesn't work. This means everything has to be manually configured or perhaps DHCPv6 might work. However, IPv6 is built with the understanding that the local network is always /64 and as a result somethings, SLAAC is just one of them, won't work properly with other than /64. In some ways, IPv6 is similar to Novell's IPX. With IPX, addresses were 64 bits, 16 for the network and 48 (actually the MAC address) for the device.
