I'm afraid well-intentioned initiatives like this which have the  
potential for significant problems down the road are unavoidable in  
the current IETF/ICANN/RIR address management model.
The trouble is that new policies like this are proposed on a weekly  
basis, and once one slips through in one RIR, all the others feel  
they need to do the same thing and the race to the bottom is on.
Now I'm not saying "the only way to get address space is a PA block  
if you have 200 IPv6 customers" is the solution, but at least with  
that in effect we weren't creating an IPv6 swamp while looking for  
what the solution should be. And if everyone who currently has an AS  
has their IPv6 PI block, I doubt we'll see much interest in coming up  
with something good for the long term.
