[address-policy-wg] [Ticket#2012110601002595] Status of /24 PI IPv4 from last /8

Hi Gert,

I see what you're saying here. At the same time, I think any policy allowing PIv4 from the final /8 would have such a profound impact on what the current final /8 policy is trying to achieve that we should probably review the final /8 policy in its entirety. 

Yes, I'm fully aware how much pain and effort would go into that. But if we don't we might as well take away the fences and let everyone have a few more glorious weeks of cheap IPv4 resources.

Best

Well, I *do* care about the way we use the community's resources in
policy building.  

If everybody gets exhausted doing a new round of IPv4 PI policy every 
time the "we do IPv4 PI only until <x> happens, and then no more!" mark 
is reached, other policy proposals do not get the attention they deserve.

(By which I'd ask you to please stay away from a PI policy that will
do things like "but only in the first /9 of the last /8, not in the
second /9" - *iff* the community decides to bring back IPv4 PI, then
let's do it for good and for all the remaining space.  Doing it for
"but not for the last /x" is exactly what we have now - let's not do
*that* again).
