Nobody needs to worry. I promise to reserve the last /32 out of my /29 assignment. When the world has run out of addresses, I will start to sell from my pool using the same allocation policy that was used for IPv4. I would consider a /64 to be equal a /32 IPv4 address. This would make a /56 assignment equal to a /24 IPv4 minimum assignment.
Historically we spent about 3 decades before running out of IPv4 space. So my scheme should be good enough for some additional decades of IPv6. I just hope nobody else does the same. That would be bad for my business case.
