Either that or a global policy proposal to use a /4 to automatically allocate a /32 to every 28-bit AS (maximizing the potential here :) - that should keep everybody happy and remove the need for the RIRs to be involved with all but the largest IPv6 requirements. Future generations might ask why we wasted all this space linking it to AS-numbers but at least it will then be in a block that can be easily filtered.

Not that I’d support that proposal, either. We’ve already wasted quite enough bits of IPv6 space in policy, IMHO.

This is more IETF material, IMHO.  There could be a magic /5 which
contains a /32 for every 27-bit AS number, and a magic /16 with a /48
for every 32 bit AS number.  RIRs are only needed to handle the
reverse delegation.

In any case, to me it looks like multiple requests for /32s are needed
only to work around route filters.  If this is really the case, those
filters have to go.
