[arin-ppml] Request for Feedback: Draft Policy ARIN-2024-8 Restrict the Largest Initial IPv6 Allocation to /20

[Fernando Frediani]

If in practice no organizations can justify that size of block I don't
think restricting  is pramature really. And no one can.
At least doesn't give any ideas to one that may think about creating a
unexistant need.
