[arin-ppml] IPv6 End-User Initial Assignment Policy (or: Please don't me make do ULA + NAT66)

[Owen DeLong]

I would oppose such a proposal.

It’s convoluted, the sunset is unpredictable at best and the artificial limitation or one /48 regardless of the number of sites is, IMHO, absurd.

You can’t claim defense of the routing table, because a /48 and a /32 occupy the same number of routing slots.
