I prefer "redefining the soft landing trigger" or "resetting the
trigger" to "deprecate the three month rule", because as proposed the
three month rule wouldn't be deprecated, but the trigger reset for a new
three-month rule to kick in when the free pool is down to /8.
However, if we do that before discussing this issue it is possible that
the free pool could be depleted down below /8 before this policy could
be reasonably implemented. If we at least start the discussion at the
same PPM as we start the discussion of resetting the trigger then I'm
confident we could implement it if desired before we get down to a /8
I'm not saying we have to do this for me to support resetting the
trigger. However, I feel resetting the trigger before at least starting
a serious discussion of this is a little disingenuous. At least that is
my opinion.
