Uh, I did not mean to "propose anything here". I was just reporting what
we discussed at the RIPE meeting, and the consensus that was reached there.
As the idea of conservation and very restrictively handling everything is
rooted very deeply in all the registry people, I tried to explain *why*
this new approach was (and is, I believe) seen as a good thing.

The RIPE forum discussed alternative ways to justify the /32, and did not
come up with anything that would "keep out the bad, but permit the good".
Who are the ones that we want to keep out anyway? Why? To achieve what?
Please take your time to consider these questions, and then try to find
a poliy that will let in only "the right ones". After that, consider
what harm could be done by being less restrictive than what we are
used to.
