Hi Gerry,<br>
<br>
I recall asking for a proponent of shorter-than-/20 to produce a<br>
(fictitious) justification for a /19 that we could evaluate as a group<br>
and reach consensus that yeah, if that request came through backed by<br>
real infrastructure, it was not so wasteful as to be subjectively<br>
offensive. No one took me up on it. If we can't, as a group, imagine<br>
such a large yet reasonable allocation, why should we allow it?<br>
<br>
If I didn't ask, I'm asking now.<br>
<br>
