Hi Nick,

>> Thanks to you and Nick for the update on RIPE. I'm pretty sure ARIN (where almost all of my effort is concentrated nowadays) has a different policy, but that's not central to my argument.

The divergence started because the address policy working group wanted to keep the IPv6 routing table clean and aggregated. Then real life started interfering ;-)

Cheers,
Sander
