Publication on the Independent Stream does not reflect IETF consensus. Therefore, publication on the Independent Stream wouldn't enable the allocation. Sorry, or maybe I'm not really sorry, but I can not see it as a good thing for the internet at whole to allocate the prefix right now. Notice that right now part. Let people try out all of the scenario we have available, we don't need to add yet another part into the huge mess we've already got us into. Are already too many ways to get from v4 to v6 as it is.... In a few years _when_ we've got IPv6 more into mainstream, I'm quite sure we will see a technical (and only technical) reason for allocating that last remaining piece of IPv4 netblock we've got left. There is already too many burning fire out there right now, we don't need to add more wood (ipv4 addresses or special case usage etc) to it. -- Roger Jorgensen | rogerj@xxxxxxxxx | - IPv6 is The Key! http://www.jorgensen.no ; | roger@xxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
