The reason for this policy is to make sure that the community keeps to the *intent* of the "last /8" policy: ensure that newcomers in the market will have a bit of IPv4 space available to number their translation gear to and from IPv6. It will not completely achieve that, of course, but make the obvious loophole less attractive.
Earlier I already said that fast-trade takes away only 3% of last /8.
Today Ciprian Nica showed that there is NO exponential grow of transfers from last /8 and also calculated that transferred IP's from last /8 represent only 1.83% of all transferred IP's.
So what is this proposal about?
The growth in trade is VERY clearly visible. With the limited amount of data available (since this effect only started over the last year or so), you can fit about every curve you like into it - exponential, linear, quadratic. None will be a very reasonable projection. But it's actually good that only 3% of the last /8 has been fast-traded away: let's keep it that way.
