[arin-ppml] Revised - ARIN-2024-7: Addition of Definitions for General and Special Purpose IP Addresses

[Roman Tatarnikov]

This wordsmithing appears not to solve any current or potential issues, but it
also would create some complications.

First, the definition of "Reserved IP Address". Some people will get confused
by it, others will insist on using different terminology and we will see new
proposals for it.

Second, it adds constrains on qualification for initial allocation. The market
already dictates this and while I don't see the situation changing, if does
change, we will either going to have to update NRPM or be constrained by it.

Current definition is quiet ubiquitous and I see no reason moving forward with
this changes.

> "Section 4.3.2
>
> Change paragraph 1 text
> FROM: “End-user organizations without an IPv4 allocation from ARIN qualify for
> an initial allocation of ARIN’s minimum allocation size.”
> TO: “End-user organizations without a Reserved (or Defined Purpose) IPv4 allocation
> from ARIN qualify for an initial allocation of ARIN’s minimum allocation size.”"
