   A /60 means 16 /64 nets which should be sufficient for a home user (main   
   network, guest network, IoT network, kids' network, what else can you   
   imagine?). But configuring a single lan with a /60 prefixlen (instead of   
   splitting the block into 16 standard nets) makes no sense to me whatsoever.
