I am not convinced mild pressure would suffice. AFAIU, any entity using
PI space would need to renumber once they migrate to PA space. As we are
already pre-selected on entities doing sub-assignments, there is
additional pain involved.
The perceived benefit by the entity which was allocated PI space of now
being in compliance might not quite outweigh said pain.
