No justification is necessary?  The RIRs required justification,
but pre-RIR was classy.

In addition to currently-held space, or justifying currently-held
space?

IPv4 policy says "intent to multihome" or something like that.  It's
all right with me as is.

A 13-site organization needs a million subnets?

I don't understand.  Are you counting hosts (Host Density) or sites?

Why not use HD-ratio?  Or topology?
