FWIW I oppose this proposal.

People are starting to feel the pain of IPv4 running out (as was
foretold for the last decade) and I'm sorry for them but there is no
cure (in the IPv4 world). The last /8 policy is doing what it's
supposed to do. It was never supposed to satisfy peoples IPv4 demand,
it is supposed to provide an absolute minimum of IPv4 for things like
CGNAT and external services.

Regards

Sebastian
