A "site" gets assigned a /48. It could be a customer site, or one of your many sites or one of a customer's many sites. I interpret "site" to roughly be within a single building, although a campus type arrangement could be considered a single site if the network architects want to do it that way. > An ISP gets assigned a /32 (unless they need more) > If your complaint is that all devices in a /64 are going to see IPv6 > broadcast/multicast packets from the rest of the devices in that subnet, > then don't assign 2^64 devices to that subnet.

It's purely a case of stage 2 which is a good thing IMHO, since it shows some movement forwards past denial.
