There is already an IPv6 PI policy which covers these cases.
Startup ISP's that need >=/32 address space can start out using the PI
policy and don't need to be covered by the PA policy. If a startup can
demonstrate the need for >=/44 which one can get with the IPv6 PI policy
then they can under the current PA policy already get this space without
much hassle or ado.

Applying this 'delete' to the current PA policy will only make the PA
policy so blatantly open that there will (maybe ;) be a landrush on the
>=/32's blocks, effectively creating, again, the "class A" situation for
early adopters even though the requesting entity will never use the full
address space of the /32. Remember that 65536 /48's is a *lot* of space.

As such, startups can use the PI policy which should satisfy their
needs. Others, larger established ISP's, can use the PA policy.

Greets,
 Jeroen
