Which of these following principles from the revised rational are obectionable?

The second bullet point is quite good, IMHO.

There has already been a suggestion(s) to address the dual stack
requirement and the update that Chris provided demonstrated that. All
that the petition does is allow this to continue to be discussed and
would likely include more of the feedback that was presented here and
still be required to be presented at an ARIN meeting where consensus
would be gauged.

All in all, I guess I'm puzzled as to why you wouldn't be able to make
a suggestion on improving this to the point where we move it a bit or
two closer to the center.
