I could probably agree to /56 for residential access though. But definately not for non-residential access like non-miniature companies, universities etc.
That's the aim.
Do we really gain enough by going down to /56 that is worth the hassle?
I'd say so. Assuming "everybody is always-on at home" (with "few" subnets there), this will be the LARGE majority of subscribers - and being able to increase that number by 256 sounds like "significant gain" to me.
IMHO, changing the HD-Ratio is a better idea, with no downside I can currently see (can anyone?).
It would be quite useful to see the efficiency of large-block-holders' network plans, to base judgment on the target HD ratio on the reasonably achievable efficiency in real-world network plans. Making the HD ratio overly tight ("0.99") would mean "destroying potential internal aggregation", and that's a bad thing to do.
