I am opposed to the proposal of removal of renumbering requirement for
small multihomers.
The text of the policy was available, at the time they agreed to do
this renumbering, it was their choice, and they walked right into
that.

If the rationale is that it's not actually being used, then the
section that should be reverted is 4.3.2.2:  Multihomed Connection

Change:
"the minimum block of IP address space assigned is a /24. If
assignments smaller than a /24 are needed, multihomed end-users should
contact their upstream providers. "

TO
"
the minimum block of IP address space assigned is a /22. If
assignments smaller than a /22 are needed, multihomed end-users should
contact their upstream providers.
"

Otherwise,   the deletion of  4.3.6.2   may  cause problems sought to
be avoided, occuring, with routing table slot count explosion.
