[address-policy-wg] 2015-05 New Policy Proposal (Revision of Last /8 Allocation Criteria)

Hello,
I'm strongly *against* this proposal. There's no need for change.

It's just about plundering - just because others (RIRs) plunder. It's
bad strategy in long-term perspective.

I see quite often end-users ignoring even (old) RFC 1519 and making
requests in style "I need X C-blocks" without any objective reason. And
it's LIR's responsibility to streamline such requests. Even running many
SSL websites isn't objective for getting more IP addresses in these days
(as we have SNI already and old crypto protocols are getting retired),
CGN is also there and so on...

IPv4 *is* almost gone, and I don't see any logical reason to speedup
this to "finally gone" phase.

With regards,
Daniel
