This argument is absolutely correct, the impact on the BGP table will be negligible and can - as proven by IPv4 - be handled by modern routing hardware, thus:
Does someone have numbers on the amount of IPv6 prefixes that currently deployed Cisco and Juniper routers can handle? I know that the Cisco Sup720/3B can handle 256k routes for IPv4+IPv6 *together* (TCAM space), which limits the "unlimited growth of IPv6" a bit (but which can be fixed by upgrading to 3BXL). Please let's not discuss "how stupid router vendors are" now, just collect facts - there must be some upper limits in the hardware for GSR line cards and Juniper IPII-ASICs as well.
