more than that, it is an exercise in planning.  an rir can count on
having one last /8 instead of hitting the wall in surprise when their
sibling got there ten minutes prior.

this is not an accident.  the author of -9 is in extreme opposition to
-3 and has crafted -9 to very intentionally nullify and circumvent -3.

it is notable that -3 got massive support in the arin meeting, and is
generally supported in the other regions though not yet passed, and -9
has been pretty much rejected worldwide.
