[address-policy-wg] Support for 2016-03 v2.0

Hello,
even I uderstand motivation, I cannot aggre with Ondrej. IP address was,
is and always will be only technical resource - and we're loosing that
point in APWG....

And such policy is quite unfair to "new" LIRs (holding only last /22) -
as it's trying to revoke rights, which have "old" LIRs holding old
allocatios before "last /8" policy was introduced.

I think we cannot make difference between "old" and "new" allocations -
in terms of last /8 policy, where we're taking care only about address
space allocated after certain date.

There's RIPE analysis about address really available:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_schmidt/taking-a-closer-look-at-the-last-slash-8
- and I don't undersand such "panic", as numbers about space available
are pretty clear...

Do we really want do block new organisations with new allocations, but
allow old (happy) one to do anything with addresses tehy have...? That's
not fair.

Motivation mentioned above is shift movement to IPv6 - but, basically
holders of smaller/never allocations have IPv6 implemented already (or
at least are trying to implement) - or in IPv4, they have deployments of
CGNAT solutions already.

There're organisations, which have large allocations and they're
sometimes not taking care - they have enough IPv4 addresses, nothing is
pushing them to implement IPv6, or save address space by implementation
of some NAT solution. If they decide to sell their business, policy will
allow that - but, if "new" resource holder will try similar thing,
policy will ban then?

My point is simple - there should be ONLY ONE POLICY - independent on
time of allocation. Such policy must limit not only new LIRs (using
addresses from last /8), but also old LIRs holding addresses from old
allocations.

And if we really want to reclaim some address space, we should review
current allocations - in terms of current situation in IPv4 world.

With regards,
Daniel
