[ppml] Policy Proposal 2007-21: PIv6 for legacy holders with

I am all for giving the legacy holders a fair break, and being nice to
them.  I would go so far as to say that "initial" fees for them could be
waived.  Past that I am opposed to giving them more ongoing rights,
priviledges or recurring concessions than anyone else (meaning me) gets.
IPv6 needs to be a level playing field.  Everyone should have the same
requirements, rights and responsibilities.  

Simply said.
