Larry, -17 makes needs testing more fair for smaller organizations. In terms of larger organizations, it isn't at all practical to have a /8 and spend even a minute of your day to request something much, much smaller. That would be like me requesting a /24 right now. I would never do that :)
I get the sense that some of the community feels I have an ulterior motive for supporting this proposal given my concurrent support of something similar to -14.
