The whole policy proposal is nuts.

If ARIN can't give out a /14 because there is no single free block
big enough, they should just send an email saying:

------
Here's some good news and some bad news. We just approved your
allocation, however, we don't have any /14 or bigger sized 
blocks left. The biggest free block available is a /16.
We could either give you that and consider the request to be
completed, or we could give you 3 /16s and 2 /17s to make
up the equivalent number of IP addresses out of several
NON-AGGREGATABLE blocks.

How do you want to proceed?
--------

That doesn't need any new policy just common sense. It also doesn't
need to waste everybody's time on PPML arguing over the last table
scraps.
