Provide me with evidence that the current policy is unsustainable, and I
could change my mind, but one /16 allocation being made by ARIN is not
evidence that the current policy is unsustainable. It is not even a
pattern; it is an anecdote at best. As I said, the current policy seems to
be functioning as intended.
