Interesting in the direction that it has been shot down already and not
officially proposed.

On the PPML list various people have already commented against it.
Mainly because the people who do not want IPv6 address space really are
not going to use it suddenly when they get it force-fed. Also 6to4
already allows those folks to have huge amounts of IPv6 addresses.
Fortunately there is a limit to only allow 2002::/16 to be announced.

Long list of arguments agains the above one:

See http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/ppml/2007-June/thread.html for more
arguments against and only few minor supportive ones.


Another proposal made, but by Owen DeLong, is much more interesting:
http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/ppml/2007-June/007585.html

short: allow legacy holders to get 5-year free IPv6 space when they turn
legacy space into ARIN-maintained space.
