I see my role in policy development as avoiding disaster, not
protecting legacies.

As an enterprise network manager, I do not expect PI space.  I 
do expect the ability to mulithome, and the ability to renumber 
should I change providers.  PI space is, at best, a "nice to 
have."

I need reliable connectivity.  To me, that means multihoming.
PI space would be one way to ease transitions in multihoming,
but good design and tools from major vendors would be enough.
