- Customers that are stupid enough...

Someone else's stupidity is not my problem.

As a vendor, every customer problem is your problem.

Go visit some Fortune 500 customers and ask:
.  Are you aware you won't be able to get portable IPv6 addresses?
.  How would you like to renumber your entire network every year?
.  How would you like us to sell you IPv6 NATs so you'll never have to
renumber again?

Most F500 customers or similar have their own AS numbers. They can easily
become a LIR and get their own assignment. 

You don't get a portable IPv6 address allocation only by being a LIR.

Except by lying or having an interesting interpretation of the required
"200 customers" in the application, of course...
