Couln'd agree more. This requirement does nothing for actual IPv6
deployment. It just forces people to fill out another form and pimp
statistics. That's what we call "window dressing".

If and when people want to deploy IPv6, they will request IP space for
this. If they don't, having a net block lying around doesn't make them
deploy any sooner. IMHO. YMMV.


Best regards,
