	which problem are we "solving" here?  effective stewardship of 
	Internet numbering resources or micro management of joe random's
	routing table slots?   Do you disagree that  handing out /32s
	of IPv6 is an egregious waste (inefficent is not descriptive enough)
	of space?  If so, on what do you base your argument.  

	its not like these points are new... i periodically feel the need
	to not roll over a take anotherone for the routing table myopic.
	IF we really, really wanted to ensure "global" routeablitity, 
	the RIRs would only hand out /12's of IPv6 and declare de-aggregation
	was not technically possible.  The routers would be happy as would
	those that care and feed them.   but for the life of me, I can't
	conceive of a need for my toothbrush to have a /12 of IPv6 space.
	But if that is the minimal allocation, so be it.

	OR... one could look back in on the RAM fora and see if there is
	progress there (I suspect we will need to start in on a serious 
	replacement for  IPv6 soon...)   And if we take Farbers maxim to
	heart, it might be time to revisit variable length addressing.
