I've been relatively relaxed for many years about allocation policy
in 2000::/3, precisely because that leaves most of the total address
space free in case we turn 2000::/3 into a swamp.
I would be a bit nervous about dedicating another /3 for unproven
use. There's a risk of it ending up unusable like Class E. So
if we are going to do this, doing it inside 2000::/3 seems a
bit safer to me.
