RE: [GLOBAL-V6] PI space under IPv6

Indeed.

To conserve routing table slots, just give a *single* big block of IPv6
addresses to organisations that want and need them. My routing table doesn't
care if an organisation has a /48 or a /27, it's just one slot. And I think
there are plenty IPv6 addresses for this. Giving multiple blocks to one
organisation is the worst that can happen. It saves addresses (of which we
have plenty), and it wastes routing slots (which we need to preserve).
