Why? What actual problems is this alleged stockpiling causing? Is there any v6 
stockpiling taking place? Why would anyone need/want to stockpile v6 when the 
*lowest* allocation they’d get gives them orders of magnitude more address 
space than they could ever hope to use.

I think the onus is on you to provide a clear problem statement before making 
policy proposals. It’s not at all clear there’s an actual problem to solve.
