Repeat the mistakes done in IPv4, only this time by assigning everything to
the RIRs instead of directly to the user? Good plan. Has nobody learned from
the mistaked made in the past?

We can not say if there will be another assigment policy then IANA->RIR->LIR
in maybe 20 or 30 years (thats the time IPv6 has a realistic chance to gain
real speed).

Then the RIRs sit on their /8s wihtout really needing it just like the
organizations that got direct assignments today.
