for a research experiment, we wanted eight or a dozen routable, i.e. /24, prefixes which we would announce from various places in the topology. each /24 would have one pingable address, let's assume .42.
This is a tough nut.
I can totally see what you do, and understand what space you need, and for which times.
OTOH, I can totally see the NCC being worried about people claiming "experiments! and I need a review!" and running their ISP for a year on temporary space - and with the argument "I want a dozen routable /24s", you can get quite some ISP work done.
the current policy requires description, documentation, ... already. this point merely adds to the spec to allow the ncc to issue frags if a block is not needed.
have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
nope randy
