Yes. Allocations from 185/8 wouldn’t just go to new LIRs. And besides it’s not just allocations from that /8 that would be affected by this proposal.

As Remco has already pointed out, the final /8 policy "was never about what to do with specifically 185/8, but what to do with all future allocations from the moment we needed to start allocating out of it. The policy text itself was never limited to a single /8, nor was that limitation any part of the discussion."

I support policy proposals which are sensible and benefit the community. (Same thing really.)
2015-05 does not do that.

I have read the policy change and thought about its implications. I suggest you look at the first two bullet points listed under "Arguments opposing the proposal”. These are two of the main reasons why this proposal has to be rejected. The first one is a show-stopper. It’s more than enough reason to kill this proposal.
