It'll certainly be interesting to see if scalability of the IPv6 DFZ routing table is actually better or worse than that of v4 (adjusted for growth in number of multihomed organizations, of course.) One could make an argument that the bloat in the v4 table today is largely due to disaggregated allocations from the RIRs due to exhaustion-avoidance address space allocation policy.
It is entirely possible that large organizations will be able to advertise fewer prefixes, as they have large, contiguous allocations, and thus can more efficiently aggregate at the border.
(Sorry, this is a bit late, but your comment got me to thinking...)
