and then goes to say "These values may change in the future" as they 
probably will, since our needs seem to change ever so often. BCPs have 
always been driven by operators and operational experience. The whole 
argument here is two-fold:

  * until the IPv4 extinction and while IPv4 is a scarce resource,
    people may need to announce larger prefixes simply because they
    cannot be assigned shorter ones
  * for IPv6, the /48 boundary is a bit arbitrary and once we gain
    adequate operational experience, we might end up replacing it with a
    longer one, simply because its wasteful (see also /127 for p2p links
    instead of /64, /62 for residential customers instead of /56 etc.).
    Our experience as an operator/ISP, shows just that and it seems that
    other operators share the same experience

It's not really a matter of complexity (or it shouldn't be). 
Automation+decision_making is not so futuristic anymore ;) . Machines 
apparently do learn...
