Opposed. The intention is that an end-user requesting address space already have an operational network. Some or all of the 25% utilization will be achieved by renumbering a subset of services out of provider-assigned address space. "End user must already operate a real network" is hard to write up in policy language. "25%" is much easier define and accomplishes a comparable goal.
