This is an excellent idea.  I have a legitimate operational need for a
large number of autonomous system numbers - slightly less than 2^32.  The
rest of the internet will be left with a couple of thousand which should do
for the rest of time, assuming that they're handled sparingly.  Anyways,
people can use the private assignment range if they're stuck.

The RIPE NCC can record my need and keep it confidential.

So count this as definite support for the proposal as it stands.
