Hmmm. Looking in my crystal ball (hi #ipv6!), I predict that if this lands in mainline - and thus in consumer CPE/routers eventually - many ISP's will have little incentive to actually implement assigning of blocks to their consumer users like they "have to" today.

We have this wonderful chance of fixing a major problem with todays internet, but now we are going down this very slippery slope.

I do need this code for a experimental project myself, and acknowledge there may be some valid use cases, but I do not like the global implications one bit.

At least some big fat warnings please?

:-(
