My main understanding of why this policy might be needed is that some feel that the 200 /48 assignments is an arbitrary requirement. Some feel that this type of requirement would encourage a smaller LIR to provide false information to ARIN in order to obtain PA address space.
If the problem is with the 200 /48 requirements, I would suggest just striking the words at least 200 from the policy rather than removing the entire requirement.
I do not think that small ISPs should use the PI address space policy to a bootstrap to getting PA address space later.
