106. I shouldn't have mentioned that within this discussion.

I figure if every allocation/assignment is documented by ARIN from a
block 'reserved for X purpose', then providers who currently won't
accept /48's might do so, if they know that they are within an /XX
address space used exclusively for that purpose.

Personally, I've accepted /48 from the get-go. However, I have routers
that will fall over if someone decides to maliciously /48 up a few /32's
for instance.

Every ARIN block allocated or assigned should be done so from a block
reserved for a particular purpose.

As Owen says, we have 7/8ths more to play with after this one is done.

Let ARIN pave the way for proper documentation/TE/filtering (even though
ARIN doesn't have anything to do with routing policy) for the first
1/8th, and we'll all be set.
