???As you probably know, ARIN amended some time ago their IPv6 policy proposal in order to make sure that the allocations to LIRs are aligned to the nibble boundary.
Speaking as a long-time IPv6 user, I see no real benefit in this. Yes, a /29 means I have to set up 8 reverse DNS zones, instead of one. Bummer. And my IP management tool might need to learn about non-magic bit numbers (but it will need to understand that anyway if I do reasonably-sized internal suballocations, like "a /34 for a region" and not "a /36 because the tool cannot do /34s"). "Just because ARIN does it" is also not a good reason to follow suit - like, "lots of people going for /36 allocations, because /32 is too big and, priced-by-size, too expensive"... (But this is strictly my *personal* opinion. If there is sufficient support in the WG, I'll shepherd a corresponding proposal, of course) Gert Doering -- long time IPv6 allocation holder -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
