[address-policy-wg] Opposing policy 2015-01

I may misunderstand your reasoning, but that's why 2015-1 was desgined
to do ... keep "dummy-LIRs" from being set up just to move the /22 to
another LIR.

Actually, it aids it, as it keeps existing LIRs from going around and
grabbing the available IP spaces and thereby keeping new entries from
getting any ... please look at the ARIN region - they are down to ~140
/22 (fragmented into /23 and /24), which is still dropping quickly ...
in contrast, RIPE's policies habe helped to still have a pool that might
still last ~5 years ...
