I'd counter by asking if it's really flip-flopping?  I can't think
of many individuals who flip-flop on this issue.

There people who think we should never talk about routability.
There are people who feel strongly routability is a huge concern,
and ARIN should not issue things that are not routable and/or put
pressure on the routing system.

My feeling is these camps are of relatively similar size, so the
meetings tend to be split 50/50 (60/40, whatever).  That does make
the group as a whole look like it flip-flops....

Unfortunately, without getting one side to give up, I'm not sure how you
fix it.
