Re: IPV6 renumbering painless?

I believe that to be true. In fact, I don't think Paul's connections probably
made it particularly easier for him to get his space to any extent other than
he might have some level of established credibility for the claims made
in his justification. (i.e. his honest may be a bit less suspect than
someone unknown to the RIR staff).

yes.  for example, you wrote...

There is currently no PI in IPv6 unless you're an internet exchange or
a root server.
...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.)
So you're claiming that any IPv6 PI applicant without your political
connections to the IESG, ARIN, IANA, etc. can get a /32?  I don't know
exactly how many subnets/hosts ISC has, but I seriously doubt ISC could
even get a PI /48 if you weren't buddies with the folks making allocation
decisions.

Most companies do not have the advantages you apparently take for
granted; the IETF thus far has been adamant that only ISPs will get PI
space, no matter how big an end-user site may be, exceptions for the
IETF/IANA leadership's employers notwithstanding.
