In case anyone missed the subtlety of Wes's statement here... The
answer to that question is:
A. A single /10 shared by everyone worldwide
B. Lots of smaller block (likely totaling quite a bit more than a /10)
that are not shared between the different providers each of whom
is forced to go acquire their own.
In the event that B transpires, there is exactly 0 gain to any ISP for
sharing and many many downsides if they do.
As this is unfolding and I consider what will happen if this is not
deployed, I now support this proposal.
