It's not that easy.  *If* they start "judging" requests, they also start
asking lots of additional questions (to understand the background), and
then people will again start complaining "the hostmasters are so 
annoying with all these questions! why do I need to send in an IPv6
network diagram, I just want addresses!"...

This is why I'm aiming for a very specific "checklist".  No doubts, no
discussions.
