On the positive side, I think this is a good thing to start debating micro 
allocations for IPv6. In addition to the exchange points, the root server 
folx have debated the type of allocation (all IPv6 roots in one block vs 
separate small blocks vs size of the blocks). It would be good to hear what the
ARIN membership would desire to carry within their routing tables regarding 
roots and other critical infrastructure needs for IPv6.

On the negative side, would it be premature to debate this since one has
not put any stake in the ground on what goes to the left of the /48 wrt IANA,
RIR's and LIR's/ISP's? Does it matter?
