We had free/unallocated IPv4 space that entire time too.  I do not
agree that the expense to the community is as astronomical as you seem
to believe.  We are talking about responding to a single email here.
Both of us could have done it multiple times today and not cost our
company any more time than we have responding to the ppml...  I am not
saying the world will end without this policy, or even the Internet --
I am saying the Internet will be better for it and that I for one am
willing to respond to one email a year to make it happen.
