I agree. Perhaps the use cases were too narrow? I see (and practice) single homing on a wide scale and the efficiencies of doing it responsibly are valuable to big and small alike IMHO. I don't recall the proposal and didn't pay attention to it. Mea culpa.

Requiring classic multi homing in order to obtain an AS Number is out of step with current engineering and operational practices. Can the authors, the chairs, the staff, or any knowledgeable observer please outline where the impasse is? I'd like to help get this back on the docket, but need to understand the bottom line.
