I agree.  It would be a good start to actually have a mechanism
available so a legacy holder could figure out how to join up, and what
the cost and other implications would be.

The cost is mostly not money.  If I  can't justify my address space
under the current rules, I'm not sure I will sign up.  There is a
certain amount of freedom that one does not get with provider supplied
