Yes, I have responded to that one with the suggestion of a test at /20 for a limited time as a reasonable compromise. Once we learn whether that does indeed improve whois accuracy or not, whether ti does provide improvement or not and what harm it does, we are in a better position to evaluate further changes to the needs test. Opening the floodgates all the way to /16 to start with is still a really bad idea, IMHO.
