[ppml] Legacy /24s

[Lee Dilkie]

What?

no restrictive RSA?

no outrageous $100/yr scalper fee?

no justification of usage?

You're daft man!

A common sense proposal like this has no place on ppml.

{pardon my sarcasm, been here too long I guess. But being a /24 legacy
holder in the same shoes as probably many, this would fit the bill but I
wouldn't hold my breath}
