Support.  This reduces disparate treatment for entities with identical
allocations and utilization, just because one entity got a /16 and the
other got two /17s.  I might have preferred eliminating the disparate
treatment completley, but the addition of the "50% of every
allocation/assignment" requirement is a reasonable balance between
treating entities with the same amount of space identically, and the
concerns raised about entities receiving an allocation/assignment,
still being above 80%, and being eligible to request and receive
another one the next day with the same justification.  I support this
policy as written.
