This proposal has improved substantially since v3.0, and it is long
overdue. While I support it as-is, I have two comments.

- the "temporary" status of the proposal has been changed to permanent.
This is a good move, and merely recognition that reclaiming address space
is an enormously difficult challenge, even if assigned on a temporary basis.

- while a requirement for multihoming is useful, it should be made clear
during implementation that this is not necessarily a requirement for
multihoming using ASNs and BGP on the public Internet (however we care to
define that term).  Private interconnection to third parties is also a
fully legitimate justification for assignment of provider independent
number resources.
