[address-policy-wg] 2013-03 New Policy Proposal (No Need - Post-Depletion Reality Adjustment and Cleanup)

This proposal is a gigantic leap in the right direction.

Any future IPv4 policy should describe what to do with PI assignments
though, after all they are more numerous than LIR allocations and the fact
that the RIPE NCC will not be making any new assignments doesn't mean it
won't have to deal with the tens of thousands there are out there in the
future.

The cleanest, and most radical, solution would of course be to say
"addresses are addresses" and do away with the difference between PI and
PA and strip all references the "PA" and "PI" from the policy and RIPE DB.

Leaving them in limbo is not a good idea.
