Indeed - the backdoor into IPv6 PI is getting IPv4 PI. This is a limited time only kind of deal since IPv4 is nearly depleted so we know this change will not let too much new PI space slip in for people that not have it today, but will allow organisations to move forward with IPv6 deployments that have IPv4 PI today already.
This is getting complicated. Why bonding IPv4 policy to IPv6 policy? Independent Resources costs money - X EUR/Year. If you are multihomed, IPv6 PI space would cost X EUR/Year If you are not multihomed, IPv6 PI space would automatically cost X x 2 EUR/Year. Now suit yourself and make a decision, what's gonna be. This would probably fix all the fears expressed here in this thread. And in my opinion independent resources are too cheap, but that's just my view and out of scope of this discussion. Cheers, Jan
