While some people agree with the concept, I'm not sure that the community in its whole (or majority) will agree with rolling-back several years of (already-established) policies. This definitely needs more discussion (maybe during a meeting): - restore needs-based allocation (which has been "abolished" in order to legitimate already widespread but not really appreciated practice- lying about "needs" and "use") - soften the "last /8" policy - between 2010 and now the situation changed, and things will change even more in the upcoming years. Not to mention that now we have some real-life experience.
