I do agree with the aim of the proposal and while I don't see the same
potential for abuse as Nick does, mainly because I see no real use or
value in having a myriad of ASNs just lying around.

Reinstating the 50€/year scheme may make sense, here.

As to the option above, at first glance 1000 seems like a lot, but
without supporting data, it's hard to tell. Requiring, and verifying,
documentation after X ASN may be an option, but this feels like a
bandaid where the simple fee used to be.

PS: For Gert's benefit: I support this proposal in its current form
already, even though there's still room for improvement.
