IPv6 gives most people a /64 address, which means that there are
really 2^64 addresses available.  Still quite a lot, but unfortunately
the decision to route by prefix reduces the effective address space
still further.

That's not to say that IPv6 isn't a big improvement over IPv4, but if
you are going to argue it based on comments about there being a
bajillion addresses per square inch of the earth or whatever, you're
just going to come across as someone who doesn't understand it.
