If it doesn't go away, it will be only because of ISP greed (i.e., charging customers for a larger number of publicly routable addresses). Otherwise, there simply is no reason not to give every customer a /56 or even a /48, given that routers won't be able to route prefixes longer than that anyway.

Fortunately, most ISPs offering native IPv6 so far have turned out not to be that greedy.
