Hi Owen,

I'd rather see it at /28 but I concede the existence of credible cases
where a particular transition scheme needs to consume a full /28. It's
not unreasonable to expect that an ISP might want non-transition space
in the same allocation (pushing it to /27) and the ISP might usefully
try a second transition scheme without decommissioning the first
(needing another /28, thus pushing the whole thing to /26.)

Barring a classification of a address pools where the next pool bigger
than /28 allocates /24s, I'd prefer not to see allocation for
transition addresses exceed /26. Past that a network is getting rather
firmly embedded in the "I'm sloppy with my network management and I
want everybody else to pay for it" territory.

Regards,
Bill
