It is if it helps to facilitate movement to IPv6.  Some small orgs may
need an additional allocation/assignment in order to get through the
transition.

I think I would support this proposal.  I wouldn't mind seeing
something added that required a justification to include plans for
migration to IPv6, as additional gratuitous consupmtion of IPv4
probably shouldn't be encouraged.  The intent seems solid, and I like
the simplicity of the policy change.  This will require further
thought, but it seems like a good idea at first glance.
