[address-policy-wg] IPv6 PI resource question!

Hello,

I also thinks this policy should be reevaluated.

We are experiencing almost the same issue, but more related to the "your 
infrastructure" part. One of our customers is a hosting company, and 
their application got rejected because they wanted to use the addresses 
for their shared hosting service.

This is not how it should be, as a shared hosting server has 1 IP 
address shared among all of the customers. Why would each customer need 
it's own allocation?
