I think that we have a hell of a good reason here, and that good reason is simplicity. Between: 1. Telling ISPs that they should give customers that want to subnet a /48. (or tell customers that want to subnet that, if they don't get a /48 from their ISP, they'd better shop somewhere else) and 2. Getting into subnetting of the IID with all its consequences like loss of autoconfig, loss of privacy and so on I say 1. is the path we must choose because it is the responsible thing to do.
