Hi Owen,

I think Scott's point is: if they haven't consumed 90% of their
existing allocations, do they genuinely -need- addresses from the 4.10
pool? If they do, I haven't been convinced of why.

Ex post facto has to do with retroactive effect. There's no change
here to folks have to do to retain, transfer, etc. any addresses
outside the pool reserved for 4.10.

Regards,
Bill
