SM,

At NANOG 54, ARIN reported that they are down to 5.6 /8s. If just four ISPs 
ask for a /10 for CGN, we burn one of those /8s.

Is that really a good idea?

It's not about good or bad idea, it should be more about; If they can
justify having a /10 each then they should get it. And yes, that will
hurt.

squeeze even more out of the good old, dry and dead dog called IPv4.



With all of that said, giving out this shared address space is a
horrible idea, but it just a little bit less horrible than the
alternates.
And yes it will be abused and be counted as yet another RFC1918 space
anyway. I know of plenty of people that will be trilled for this
space... "woho, no more address collision" while they quiet think "I
hope no one else know about this address space...."

in other word, move on, give out this space, it'll hurt just a little
bit less than the other options.
