If there would be only v6, I'd agree, but given that v4 refuses to die, IPv6 is a far lesser incentive to become an LIR compared to the /22 shot of IPv4. I don't expect the number of LIRs in the RIPE area to come down for the next few years. When the past-last-/8 pool has finally dried up, plus 2 years (holding time), well, yes, maybe. > > The only negative I can see is deaggregation of IPv6 space but I > think that particular boat sailed a long time ago... I certainly feels that way. Regards, -kai
