[Dave Mohler] I'd like to see that the discussion of "request[ing]
additional address space from ARIN" doesn't add a barrier to legacy
users' movement toward IPv6.  It is reasonable to consider that requests
for additional IPv4 space might prompt a review of the utilization of
the legacy IPv4 assignment.  However, I would hope that a request for
IPv6 space from a legacy holder would only cause review of that request
the same as if the user had no previous IPv4 allocation.
