Agreed.
But I'd prefer if we keep this one sentence from the old policy:
+1 on Job's variant of the proposal. Maybe an additional "MUST also configure ASPA" could be added? The 'arguments opposing' states: "This could speed up the equipment replacement cycle for networks that maintain a view of all other networks." Which is through all networks worldwide that are default-free. This while primarily transit providing networks, that want to have customers, will benefit, though mostly in the "using a registered globally unique ASN" versus "pick a private-space 32-bit ASN, use that, masq that" thus enables customer mobility, and if they can find a secondary transit, move to that transit. This new freedom also avoids having new ASNs take 'free' transit or from a VM, where one prepend everything, but never use the traffic, solely to comply with the current rules. The language of "prefix assigned or allocated directly by the RIPE NCC" is great, as that avoids RIPE NCC ASNs being requested for prefixes in RIPE space, but used for other RIRs that do not have this ASN registration "freedom".
