Precisely, writing it in the policy will make clear what is not forever.

Even if the policy don't say it is temporary, it can be changed at any time.
I think is more fair to tell it clearly since the time time the policy is
accepted.

By the way, something else that I've in my proposal is clarifying that if a
use of this policy don't want to go to the technical solution later on, he
has, of course, the chance to become an LIR at that time and avoid
renumbering (of course, needs to qualify for LIR).

I'm not necessarily talking about shim or only about shim. I hope there will
be solutions that will make attractive going for this change.
