This should be pointing out the obvious, but we need _either_ 2024-4 _or_ 2024-5, but _definitely not both_. That would be bad, having two different definitions that had to be kept synchronized. I support having a stand-alone definition as in 2024-4, and removing all descriptive language from

Fernando: Owen is correct, the type of abuse you’re hypothesizing has not, in fact, occurred, in 32 years of IXPs. Since you’re the one proposing to impose a cost on everyone else, the burden falls on you to prove that is solves an actual problem, not on Owen to prove that it does not.
