Then article name isn't clear. As it doesn't apply these days, it doesn't matter, but in future this may confuse someone, as last /8 is only one.
To clear up this confusion, we have the policy propsal 2011-03 (this one) on the table. That's the point. [..]
From database point of view, there will be two sets of policies on single /8 - in future on all except 185.0.0.0/8 (the last one). One "historic" (for allocations made before some not-yet-known date) and some "current" for new allocations after that magic date - with real influence to RIPE-510 (operational impact I mentioned already). Current system is very clear in terms of each new /8 usage, proposed change will introduce new uncertainty to other exising /8.
minimum allocation sizes for certain /8 have changed in the past, for example when the minimum allocation size was reduced to a /21, and people have adapted their filters accordingly.
