Hi Gary,

Actually, I think that for now any end user willing to pay ARIN's fee
should qualify for a /48 regardless of any technical criteria. The v4
swamp caused no lasting harm but the v6 deployment delay while we
dance around justification has been nasty. On the other hand, I don't
think such an approach should outlive the v4/v6 50/50 mark so it
wouldn't resolve your long term business risk concerns.

Long term I think 6.5.8.1 c and d are an artifact of our willingness
to accept single homed entities in to the IPv4 table, something that
made more sense two decades ago when Internet connections were
sparsely available.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
