so do you gentlemen believe that we should allow unlimited allocation of
IPv6 PI space to whomever wants to multihome and just consider the
possible routing table scaling problems to be something that will be

early adopter bonus" into the brave new IPv6 world?  assuming of course
that the policy might have to be more restrictive later?
