  Yes, and that's precisely what I want to do.
  (Except that most of the space will be initially private, with some if
possibly being accessible to some places to do exactly that... get
updates in an emergency, when some other internal update server is
broken)
  The problem is that I can't, under the current policy, even get a /48
of space, if I didn't previously qualify for a v4 allocation. 
  (This is greenfield deployment, which is one reason I can think about
just using IPv6...)
