Howeverm, the "out of a single block" is the part that really bothers me. Putting supposedly "critical infrastructure" as it is called elsewhere in a block that makes them all share fate in the event of network "optimisations" is still a bad idea.
Well, this can be argued the otherway around as well. We know that ISPs filter out previously unused space, and that they are not very active in updating those filters when IANA starts allocating out of new blocks. Having all in well-known block would limit that.
Additionally, once someone starts filtering, they will receive much more pressure than if the block contained only one piece of "critical infrastructure". As always the coin has two sides :) Elmar. -- "Begehe nur nicht den Fehler, Meinung durch Sachverstand zu substituieren."
