2012-03[*] won't pass soon, and there is no guarantee that it ever will. Judging by the discussion it stirred up at the last RIPE meeting, I believe it has rather slim chances of reaching consensus.
I don't think it's all doom and gloom, btw. The comments both on the mailing list and at the APWG session fell into a couple of different categories: - yes - no, but would support after 185.0.0.0/8 is exhausted - no, but would support if potential abuse could be reduced - no, under no circumstances What's clear is that there is no consensus on the current proposal. But I think that it may be possible to satisfy many of the concerns of the people who objected if the proposal were modified to e.g. reduce the possibility of potential abusers, or maybe make it applicable only to reclaimed address space and not 185.0.0.0/8.
