But a brand new IXP will be able to get a /22 under the existing rules. Surely that's enough?
I have a general dislike of "special cases" especially where they don't seem to be necessary. And this seems to be unnecessary.
+1 on both points. I wonder too about how this policy could be gamed. What happens if new (or existing) LIRs pretend to be IXPs to snatch extra v4 space they wouldn't otherwise get? Once the v4 ship really starts to sink, people are bound to grap hold of anything that looks like a lifeboat and make sure nobody else gets to climb aboard.
