The "Plan B" approach would be to earmark another IPv4 /24 or shorter prefix for OMNI but that would require setting aside forever a scarce commodity that would never again be useful for general Internetworking. So, from an altruistic standpoint, it would seem that Plan A would be kinder to the Internet in general. But, if folks are convinced that a Plan B approach is needed, we would of course reluctantly regroup and pursue that path.
honestly, plan B sounds like the better option. It's a single prefix and this is an entire protocol class. A /24 would be 1:1.5E7 of the available address space, so there isn't a problem with the benefit:harm ratio.
