Hm, yes, firing myself would work out well as being involved in the 
entire I* family is a full time job in itself.

Or maybe people can learn to take constructive criticism (which I agree 
not all of what I said was) to heart rather than play procedural games.

Giving out /32s ONLY in IPv6 and /20s mostly in IPv4 isn't a good 
policy. Sometimes people need to be globally visible without the need 
for such a large block, and the largest ISPs burn through them fast 
enough to warrant giving them much larger blocks.
