Re: IPv6 addresses really are scarce after all

It seems that someone in ARIN land believes that IPv6 addresses are
scarce resources that need to be carefully dribbled out to customers
according to need. The following proposal has just been formally made to
change ARIN's allocation policy.

        for the world peace, as long as it does not have impact to global
        routing table (= do not leak out on cross-AS border) it is fine.

        for the ease of use for customers, it is a no-no, because they would
        like to use /48 always.  if they get /62 or something they will need
        to get more prefixes again and again, and/or the amount of addresses
        would affect the address allocation policy towards the customer network
        subnets.

        so, i would like to say "do not do this".  is it too late or still
        possible?
