[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-127: Shared Transition Space for IPv4 Address Extension

[Frank Bulk]

So that operators in ARIN's region have a reasonable path to NAT444.  No one
likes NAT444 and we acknowledge that this designated space could be used for
purposes other than what the reasons that led to this policy proposal, even
if the policy proposal specified otherwise.  But as Owen said, the operator
would be shooting themselves in the foot.  By the time they use this space
for *something else* and then wanted to do NAT444, they would not be able to
justify a request for IPv4 space for NAT444.

Why should the network come out of ARIN's hide?  If APNIC and
IETF won't support it, why should ARIN?
