So while you are doing the hard work of renumbering, I assume you'll  
also document the process and confirm with all parties how you'll  
change endpoints in the future, yeah?

As I said in a private conversation with Owen Delong, I don't believe  
that ARIN policy should be designed to allow companies to  
deliberately drag their feet.  Reasonable time to change,  
absolutely.  Even double reasonable time.  But I don't think that  
every provider with big iron should pay millions of dollars in  
upgrades to allow companies to be inflexible on such a trivial topic.

Given that ARIN currently gives longer than either the US Post Office  
or the telcos do for changes to zip codes and area codes, I struggle  
to find reason with these arguments.
