Re: /48 micro allocations for v6 root servers, was: national security

      /35 routes are being discouraged in favor of /32 entries...
      4,064,000,000 addresses to ensure that just one host -might-
      have global reachability.  IMHO, a /48 is even overkill...  :)

i think the important points for ietf@ to know about are (a) that this
is an open issue, (b) that it's generally agreed that all the RIR's ought
to have the same rules regarding microallocations, and (c) exactly where
(as in what working group or mailing list or smoke filled room) the
discussion is being held.  for example, bill says above that "/35 routes
are being discouraged" and that's probably true but "by whom?" and "where?"
