I think there definitely needs to be an upper limit and /16 may be too much, but
I haven't seen any sort of justification for more than /20, only that one
unknown party has succeeded in getting ARIN to allocate a /16. Maybe it is
perfectly reasonable, or maybe not. I don't know the use case, and I don't
think anyone else here does or if they do, they haven't described it.
If the use case is just "I want it", then I want to get a /0, and my
justification is "I want to own the Internet."

Are there “folks seeking a /16”?
I know of no imminent plague of unreasonable IPv6 requests. But if one
organization will do it then two will and if two will then it's hard
to say where it'll stop.
What I don't want is for us to see these unreasonable allocations and
decide we need to tighten the criteria and make the paperwork more of
a hassle. I'd rather set the cap lower and if someone wants to pay the
cost of being in the top category under the cap then so be it.
Implicit in my argument is, of course, that the /16 allocation ARIN
made was unreasonable, the product of a paperwork tiger divorced from
genuine use. Convince me I'm wrong if you can.
