[anti-abuse-wg] Allocation of number resources

Well let us put it this way.

The entities Ron's been thinking of have been doing this on the /15 scale
for quite a while now, so I do think they should have quite a few /16s on
the "use till it gets heavily blocked, get a new one from a RIPE LIR"
principle.

Three weeks here, three weeks there and you're looking at the best part of
a year more at a conservative estimate.

And I would be very interested to see just how much v6 space they have.

Ron - noticed some?

And please don't even tell me there's enough v6 space for everybody so we
needn't worry about IP allocation at all, that is what we all thought back
when class A, B and C addresses were being handed out, so we might as well
learn from our past experience as from anything else.
