It's the lack of reality in operational policies that is the real

doesn't even have an early alpha-implementation to show for it.
Policies
built around shim6 may be ok in 5 or 10 years if or when it is mature
with supporting technology to handle large networks, but not now.
In the
meantime we need a policy that can accomodate the need for multihoming
of end-sites with *existing* technology. Without such a policy we will
have anarchy with LIRs making their own policies (fragmentation) and
people telling lies to qualify as a LIR to obtain independent blocks
(unless there's a way to delay v6 deployment until there is technology
available to back the current policy).
I am certainly no fan of the current rule-set and I have been known
to look favourable to a more relaxed ruleset as an intermediary step.
Personally I think we should drop the 200 customer rule and give a
prefix to all LIRs for the timebeeing. Actually the RIPE community
once decided that as the policy...
