Yes. That was my idea as well, when we were discussing the last /8 policy: that I would have liked to have a "last /8 policy" to be about the "last /8", i.e. 185/8 and then the possible other free pool could have been treated differently.
Not sure that separating pools would have made things easier to accept. Some people gave me their opinions about this issue, and at that time (~6 weeks ago) there was only 1 (one) voice in favour of having separate pools. But again, if this makes it easier to pass, having distinct pools (newcomers & further allocations, 185/8 and recovered, ...) is an option for me as a proposer. Personally, I'm even in favour.
The major result of this proposal is likely to be an empty free pool and the broker market as the only market.
We will get there anyway. Worst things is that we (RIPE community) kickstarted this market too early. -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN fr.ccs
