I don't understand your comment. The idea of the policy proposal is to
automatically grow the existing /32 to a /29. That results in a single
/29 for an ISP.

GV> That would be perfect.. I was just reading the comments
sequentially... and just assumed that when an ISP gets through the HD
ratio stuff on his first /32, that he will gets the neighbor /32. In
that case the ISP needs to make a new address plan policy, which would
not be as clean as if he would have had a /31 to start off with. With
the /29 there would be no issue at all on this matter.
