do. The community should be able to come up with a better definition of who should be allowed to get a /32 and who is condemned to go to an upstream provider. This should be more objective than the current rule and not result in the problems that we see now for RIR's and IXP's and smaller NREN's and ISP's, .
Your proposals are welcome. You're part of the community. (If every LIR in existance today gets a /32, that would be about 10.000 routes. Quite a number, but if that's all of them, I don't care. There are worse things).
I think we can evade a global routing slump if we allow the RIR's to continue the excellent work they have done in the last couple of years. They have conserved adresses well. But we should provide them with adequate rules to work with, so that they can aggregate well in the IPv6 future too.
Conservation is NOT an issue for IPv6 (and this hasn't anything to do with conservation at all anyway, it's "aggregation").
