Isn't the whole policy in itself is a single, and to be a very clearly 
defined, exception?

So if we have to make this one exception because of the issues stated, i.e. 
difficulty in renumbering  etc. Why not make the exception in such a manner 
that the address block is
allocated to the specific root-server and stays with that root server, no 
matter where it goes?

The idea of having them possibly need to renumber, when they move, be 
treated just like any other network (or LIR) to my mind defeats a large 
part of the point of the exception.
