i flagged as a <troll> the nanog posting that started the thread
because, though i know i can subvert or manipulate the system to my
needs, that is neither a fair or useful exercise.  we need to make the
system work for everyone.  and simply and easily.

so i am gonna sit here and sulk and whine loud and long until the iana 
and opensrs/tucows fix it. :)

the key thing we, who have some handle on the administrative and 
technical infrastructure, can do to ease transition is to remove the 
administrative obstacles to transition.  e.g. bleeping glue records.

we need more folk to tell the tales of their transition and the bumps 
they hit which could be removed so that we can look at smoothing them.

[ and no i do not mean encouraging routing table pollution because i
   deserve my own /32 so i will not have to renumber some day ]
