...but i really do think of 2001:4f8::/32 as PI, even though ISC is
neither

an IX nor a rootserver. (f-root has its own /48, which is something
else.)



ARIN says:



NetRange: 2001:04F8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 -
2001:04F8:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:F

FFF:FFFF:FFFF

CIDR: 2001:04F8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32

[...]

NetType: Direct Allocation



I don't exactly know what this means, but something called "allocation"
that's bigger than what a single organization could possibly need for
its own use doesn't smell like PI to me.
