[Devils advocate] Why must there be special treatment for
conference-space (temporary assignments) at all?
Why can't conferences run NAT-something+IPv6 like the rest of
everything?  Since networky-conferences are the most common requesters
of these temp-blocks in the first place by my understanding, wouldn't
that be an excellent place to start adapting to the future rather than
getting special treatment and sticking to the old?

Couldn't this help with dissipating clue to real networks, etc?

Just a thought.

Best,
