<p>Bill, you are completely mixing up the things I guess. I am not
talking about 'dangers' but focusing on diversion of intent of
what a special pool was meant for just because a convenience.
Don't understand why you are insisting on this danger point and
asking for prove something that is not what is being put. Please
re-read last 2 messages and focus on the points about avoiding
using special pool addresses for a propose that was not meant for
just because for a particular scenario is convenient (IPv4
exhaustion).<br>
I am not saying on any of them that something should or should not
happen because of a 'danger' but simply that the usage for these
addresses should stay well disciplined for its main propose -
support the emergence of IXPs by giving them addresses to use with
their internal infrastructure and to connect members in the LAN.</p>
<p>Regards<br>

I agree that that is a hypothetical danger. There are lots of hypothetical dangers. You’re proposing that we all collectively foot a cost to prevent a hypothetical danger. Some hypothetical dangers are so potentially calamitous or so likely to be realized that expenditure of resources, time, or money to prevent them is well-warranted.
You have not demonstrated that this is imminent, likely, or calamitous.
If you wish to take a try at doing so, I’m sure we’d all be willing to consider any argument you might put forward.
But you have not yet put forward any such argument. “Because someone could” is not an argument.
