As I also stated in my last post (which you snipped out, and is pretty relevant) is that the handing out of ASN's should be harder. Currently ASN's are given to every silly dude that says 'i want multihoming'.
I snipped that because I have nothing to add... as in, I agree that care should be taken to only give out ASNs to those who are really going to use it in a sane fashion. and maybe revoked easier when they're not in use.
However I understand your statement, but the IPv4 policy's are mostly there because you still have to support the old way. In IPv6 we can do things the new way, so why shouldn't we decide on new policies that get us to stop all issues we had with IPv4.
we'll never see the new way if it has so big drawbacks for so many organizations that are happy with the old way. -- Henning Brauer, BS Web Services, http://bsws.de hb@bsws.de - henning@openbsd.org Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
