I think that is largely because proposals which do not contain a stick
are obscured in the shouting match between the stick-wielders.

Much of the current discussion started around a proposal I submitted
which did not contain a stick at all.  The AC decided to postpone a
decision on whether to accept my proposal or not and I am still
awaiting feedback on what changes they are looking for in order
to make it a proposal.  I am surprised to see 2007-15 accepted
as a proposal when mine was deferred, as one of the outcomes I
would have expected was the AC asking Andrew and I to work
together on merging the proposals into a compromise between
the two.  I am not opposed to such an effort if Andrew is interested.
I know Andrew's goal, like mine, is the best policy for the community,
but,  we may have different opinions of what is best.

I don't have general numbers for you, but, FWIW, I have a /64 that I
am using to familiarize myself with IPv6, v6 tunneling over IPv4
and the like.

I do not think you are alone in this position.
