I wasn't going to post again today to this list, but I cannot let blatantly incorrect statements go by. PI is not hard to get, although your experience may vary by region. My org holds a PI /48, and it took me 2 days of duration and ten minutes of effort to receive it. That's nearly trivial, in my book.
If you want to endorse PI for "private" use please also consider that it leaves blocks wide open to abuse. Separate ULA-C space can easily be filtered, but how do you easily prevent hijacking of unannounced PI-prefixes should such private blocks become as commonplace as rfc1918-space?
How do you prevent it now, in IPv4 ? (I know several companies with addressable blocks for internal use, and so I suspect that this is not that rare.) Regards Marshall
