They adapt their swamp to fit the rules. I think it's
better to know where the swamp is as you can avoid
getting wet if you wish

As the compromise is to let them have a swamp the price should be
they can only have one prefix in it, if they fill it they have to
renumber (once they fill registry provided slack) rather than get
another

I'd tolerate some local swamp for local enterprises,
it'd probably work out more beneficial than filtering
it all and letting an upstream DFZer look after it

So rather than per registry swamp it'd be nice if they had
one per country or similar boundary. I could then choose which
swamps matter to me, the rest can get by on default. Sub optimal
but we've aggreed sub optimal is OK by having a swamp.

I see more garden shed hosters asking than enterprises

If people are allowed to do that they will, in v6 world
it may be sensible not to. Those that would are probably
swamp candidates so they only get to polute swamp or
not swamp, not both. If I know not swamp won't deaggregate
then that's something less to worry about.
