The 200-user limit has not really been a problem in the RIPE region.
ISPs that are serious about providing IPv6 usually have 200 customers,
and are willing to offer all of them IPv6 services.
People need to understand that, as of today, *nobody* can be *sure*
to have 200 IPv6-enabled customers in 2 years. If the customers have
no interest, there won't be any.
The key item is "have the *intention* to provide services to 200 (or more)
customers".
Being overly restrictive in the IPv6 allocation policy is a bad signal -
there is enough address space, and the global routing table will easily
cope with 2000 prefixes per region - we should try to make people
*accept* IPv6, not hinder its deployment based on some unreasonable
fears.
