Yes, of course... I didn't mean that to sound exclusive. The idea was
that you could do your justification entirely based upon IPv6 use/need, or
you could bootstrap into it by demonstrating prior use of IPv4. One
suggestion was that case, IPv6 assignments could be scaled to how much
IPv4 space was being advertized, since that's much easier to verify than
use-claims, but I think the consensus was that that was too much of an
unfair compounding of previous-generation early-adopter advantage, so
number of sites was a better metric.
