This policy applies to all *transfers* from the moment the policy comes
into effect - as it guidelines transfers.

It's like putting up a speed limit somewhere - it will impact what you
can do with your car at this particular place, but unless you are driving
that road, nothing changes for car owners.  Same here: unless you intend
to short-transfer a last-/8 allocation, nothing changes for you.

(Funny that people didn't complain when we changed the IPv6 allocation
policy to permit /35 holders to extend their existing allocation to a /32 
"just by asking for it" - *that* was a retroactive change of policy...)
