They are being allocated. To take Lord Beaverbrook out of context, "now we 
are trying to determine the degree". Support may be growing for increasing 
the degree. I feel that adjusting the degree will be more acceptable to
the community than removing the needs basis. _AND_ as near as I can tell 
there is  a process here that is _going_ to be followed.

You are clearly welcome to reassert your opinion, at will. But consider 
this: to eliminate the needs basis, enough persuasion needs to be applied 
in support of a policy proposal to that effect, to convince the community 
to agree to it. A lot of persuasion is going to be required in addition to 
some facts. Professor Mueller, et al, supplied some data that seem to 
provide an indication that the needs horizon may be extended to good 
effect. He and others make a number of other assertions for which I find 
less support in the data.

Failing to get that failing to deploy IPv6 _IS_ doing something technical that does hurt this community leads to failing to deploy IPv6 and thus doing something technical that does hurt this community.

As long as they don't do anything technical to hurt this community then it is none of his or this communities concern.  This community should only concern itself with ARINs mission and not side issues.

Seems to me Microsoft or whoever is "facilitating the advancement of the Internet", even if they choose to be greedy for their owners or shareholders in the process.
