Implied warranty of routability?

[Stephen Satchell]

While the *idea* may be stated in RFC 2050, the concept that the ARIN is a
preferred embodiment of the idea is *not*.  I checked.

This is part of the rationale for ARIN, after all.  As such, stating the
fact and recapping the concept in a rationale document is not redundant at
all.

My pair-o-pennies(tm).
