When I got my IXP allocation I was told that I couldn't host any infrastructure

It seems like a pretty poor way to "game the system" and get IP space since
it's a /24 and the initial scrutiny is pretty tough.
I agree, there’s not a problem to solve here, since many IXPs get started with
two participants, with others following along behind quickly enough. The
two-versus-three question was fully debated at the time of the original policy
proposal, as I recall, and nothing about IXPs has changed since then.

Bill,
I have no doubt it was discussed. But I'm having difficulty finding the
discussion in the archives. ARIN-2001-3, took the preexisting IPv4
Micro-allocation policy, slightly modified it and applied it to both
IPv4 and IPv6. The discussion of ARIN-2001-3 mostly focused on the DNS
side of things, there was little discussion of IXP portion of the policy.
The Micro allocation policy that predated ARIN-2001-3 is at the
following link, the text in question is identical in that policy to the
current text.
https://www.arin.net/policy/archive/obsolete_microallocation.html
But, I'm having trouble locating any record of the discussion of this
text. Further, any such discussion is well over 10 years old, probably
closer to 15 years. So,
