This is all going severely to fast for my taste. Essentially the decision
is not to close down the last-resort registries, but not to allocate
unique address space anymore except for Internet connected organisations.

This is a decision of a magnitude that needs substantially more support
than it currently has.

There are perfectly good reasons why an organisation might want unique
(but not necessarily globably routable) address space, RFC1597 doesn't
provide this.
