Please allow me to note that there is also a third option:


3) Adopt the policy, but select some different default allocation size,
other than /22.

Personally, I think that a /22 is the Wrong Way To Go and it would be better
to change that to a single /24.

I mean what do people even need lots of IPv4 for anymore anyway?  A single
web server with a single IPv4 address can easily support tens of thousands
of distinct and unique web sites.  A single mail server on a single IPv4
address can likewise support mail services for tens of thousands of
recipient and sender domain names.  A single name server on a single IPv4
address can also provide DNS service for tens of thusands of domain names.
For anyone needing to support big batches of end-luser clients, there is
IPv6.
