I think that we all take these responsibilities 
seriously, however we do not all have such narrow
interpretations of "resource stewardship" as you
seem to have.

The fact is that having the number 200 in the existing
policy prevents that policy from being either good or
useful. The proposed change puts the policy on the path
towards being better and more useful. This is sufficient
reason to support the policy.

Not all ISPs have the same business model. But if an ISP
has an IPv4 network and has received an allocation from RIPE,
it is highly likely that their plans for IPv6 deployment will
also be reasonable within RIPE's understanding of the term.
After all, the organization is already a RIPE LIR.

I fully support proposal 2006-2
