What justification process do you see being implemented that prioritizes
one type of allocation [dial-up, dedicated] over another
[webservers]?  Non-bias and consistency in the application of IP address
provisioning should be part of policy.

>From the arguments that I've seen, pro and con this change, this appears
to be no more than a band-aid to the real problem.  Unless major web
hosting companies migrate a large percentage of their respective IP
addressed based webservers to virtuals, I can't see that, overall, we've
saved much IP address space.
