i think ULA is a stupid idea, as those of you on ppml@ know.  but if it
passes through the ietf then AS112 definitely ought to serve it up.  i'd
be happier to see the old site-local prefix used, so that private networks
can be ambiguous like they are in IPv4.  so perhaps AS112 ought to serve
up the site-local in-addr prefix also, just in case somebody uses it.

i think this is a very good idea.  any objection to me requesting a block
from ARIN for this, using their /48 "critical infrastructure" policy?

i think AS112 will still see a minimum of 10K PPS in the year 2100.
