Not sure that separating pools would have made things easier to accept.
Some people gave me their opinions about this issue, and at that time
(~6 weeks ago) there was only 1 (one) voice in favour of having separate
pools.

But again, if this makes it easier to pass, having distinct pools
(newcomers & further allocations, 185/8 and recovered, ...) is an option
for me as a proposer. Personally, I'm even in favour.

We will get there anyway.
Worst things is that we (RIPE community) kickstarted this market too
early.
