I disagree. I foresee a time in the very near future when most residential users will need at least two subnets, one for their own use and one for the use of their guests with mobile devices. I do not believe residential subscribers will accept systems that require giving their temporary guests full access to their private home networks even on a temporary basis.

Then 90% users will buy a new home router.... The current devices are rarely support more than one subnet with the shipped firmware....

Yes, but the firmware in current devices can be upgraded, but it will only help if the subscriber prefixes are shorter than 64 bits. This is why I don't see the ND proxy service model that started this discussion as a very reasonable one, and I don't think it should be recommended as Best Current Practice.
