Calling a debate "whining" is a bit rude.

My "whining" isn't intended to change your mind - I don't think any
argument I make is likely to do that.  My argument, however, is that
there's no problem solved by ULA-C that can't be solved by PI space,
and the creation of ULA-C would entirely undermine the RIR-based PI
system.

That latter possibility is the thing that worries those of us who are
whining.  That seems like a "bad idea".  If you seriously think that
ULA-C is entirely orthogonal to PI space, and will have zero impact
on the usage of PI space...well...we'll have to agree to disagree.

All of this, of course, distracts from the real underlying problem, as
Mr. Vixie points out.

Okay, I think that's my quote of posts to ppml for the day.  Time to
let someone else add their thoughts.
