well, it is some years too late for it to go along with the last /8,
policy unless you have a time machine. but it might mean we won't have
to deal with the endless proposals to modify the last /8 policy which
seem to come up every year, flood the mailing list, and eventually fail.
Exactly, the sad part is, this is essentially the last and only thing you can propose a policy regarding v4.
But if it is indeed the only thing you can propose about v4(to distribute last /8 faster than now), and most folks here agree that we shouldn't do that, then it is a simple logic, the only policy you can propose regarding v4 will be something people surely disagree, why would we need future proposal regarding v4.
