We know we will need a dedicated IPv4 block to facilitate IPv6
deployment.

We may need a dedicated IPv4 block to keep the IPv4 internet from
falling apart (if such is even actually possible, I have my doubts).

Seems to me that it is imprudent to raid the block we know we need
to create the block we may need.

Hence my suggestion that 122 would be more palatable if it set aside
a separate /10 for that purpose rather than raiding 4.10.
