I hear you. We disagree (rarely).  The benefit is we close a massive hole
in policy and not replace one loop hole with another. There are other
prescriptive requirements in the NRPM. Multihoming.  6.4.4. Minimum
allocation sizes. Policies by shepherd singling out IX allocation sizes eg
/26. IETF -> IANA global instructions. Nothing really new here.
