Huh? The AC recommended adoption of 2010-10 after last call, so, I'm not
sure what you mean by your statement.

I don't agree with your conclusion here.

This proposal received overwhelming opposition. There was nothing in the 2010-13
debate that leads me to believe that 122 is in any way a good idea. If anything, I
think the 2010-13 debate leads me to the conclusion that trying to build hybrid
ponies was a bad idea and I should have stuck to the original clarification of
4.10 that was intended in the version of 2010-13 that was abandoned by the AC
just prior to the petition.

I think you mean through NRPM 8.3. STLS is just one possible interface to NRPM 8.3.

However, I believe that the primary beneficiaries of 4.10 are:

	1.	Eyeball ISPs that need additional resources for high-ratio conversion
		or transition oriented technologies.

	2.	New ISPs that start up after IPv4 runout and need a small amount of IPv4
		space to make their IPv6 implementation feasible while others still have
		not completed the transition.

While I do hold resources covered under LRSA, I don't see how 4.10 will
in any way benefit me or any other legacy holder.
