1) According to the policy manual, it appears that SWIP is the tool for an
ISP to document the address assignments made to its customers, so that
when more address space is requested, ARIN can determine qualifications.
2) Although not directly expressed in the policy manual, it is also a tool
for operators to contact the administrators of blocks of address space
when there is an abuse event.
Very few ISP's have come back for anything more than their original /32
allocation of v6, so that purpose might not be as important in the future.
It is still handy for contact with a specific network's administrator.

As to my IPv6 proposal regarding SWIP, based on the comments received so
far, except for one person who totally rejected my Draft because
changing the IPv4 standard for SWIP to more than 16 addresses from the
current 8 addresses, everyone else responding supports changing the
current point from a /64, or SWIP for everyone, to some level that small
customers do not have to be SWIP'ed.
Remove all references to a policy change for IPv4 and I'm fine with
whatever IPv6 threshold ends up being. I think the current IPv6
threshold is fine. I also don't really care what the IPv6 threshold is,
so I'll leave the in depth discussion to everyone who does care. I'll
follow whatever the NRPM ends up saying the threshold is for IPv6.
But I oppose any changes to the IPv4 SWIP threshold.
