That's like saying people can use real money instead of monopoly money. I really don't get this. Did you guys bet a lot of money that there would never be ULA-C or something?
If you don't like it, don't use it yourself and filter it, but PLEASE don't whine about it.
Calling a debate "whining" is a bit rude. My "whining" isn't intended to change your mind - I don't think any argument I make is likely to do that. My argument, however, is that there's no problem solved by ULA-C that can't be solved by PI space, and the creation of ULA-C would entirely undermine the RIR-based PI system. That latter possibility is the thing that worries those of us who are whining. That seems like a "bad idea". If you seriously think that ULA-C is entirely orthogonal to PI space, and will have zero impact on the usage of PI space...well...we'll have to agree to disagree. All of this, of course, distracts from the real underlying problem, as Mr. Vixie points out. Okay, I think that's my quote of posts to ppml for the day. Time to let someone else add their thoughts. -David
