[arin-ppml] projections

[Tony Hain]

There is no reasonable way to correlate the reality that APnic handed out
2.3 /8's in the last 2 months, and are sitting on ~3, with the idea that
they will survive until July/Aug. The only way you can get there is a linear
projection off of a long data history to drop the slope below 1/2 /8 per
month. Events will occur well before July.
