Hi, We went through long discussion regarding this and this also needs a change of a policy, making one particular technology special. The common voice from community was "please, don't make 6rd special, because we don't know what follows". And, /29 is not a considerable waste of space, specially if we know that legacy IPv6 initial allocations were done with /29 reservation, so that place is there and will not be used by anyone else other than LIR, that got /32 from the beginning of this reservation. Why not making IPv6 more easily deployable, without those restrictions from IPv4 and legacy thinking about maximum conservation? Cheers, Jan
