As always, your experience may vary, but it seems like many operators are
starting to settle on /48 as the cutoff point. This seems reasonable to
me, since some of the RIRs are also settling on /48 as the smallest
prefix they will allocate. That said, there are some people who don't
filter (much), so it's not unusual to see smaller prefixes show up in the
global v6 view.
