Teemu is referring here to a specific deployment scenario, which is using a 
cellular phone as a mobile router. In this case, there is only one uplink and 
the uplink always has a single /64. I admit the deployment scenario is rather 
specific/limited but not necessarily a corner case (expecting that the 
penetration of cellular phones with e.g. WLAN is going to be wide spread).
