Really? How do I pick my prefixes, then? Because the ones I've got were allocated to me by my upstream providers, and they're really not very memorable.

No, what makes it safe is that people can't connect to machines on your network without manually permitting the connection. This isn't something you lose by deploying v6

Yes you do. If the address is routable - as it is with v6 - it will be routed. Thus you have moved from default DENY to default ACCEPT.
