Isn't this exclusivity what ICP-2 and the RPKI RFCs intend? It seems to me the RPKI RFCs intended there to be a global trust anchor, the change away from a global trust anchor to regionalization of the trust anchors is at least partially responsible for the issues at hand. Further, transferring IPv6 or other resources, or as you put it selecting your RIR, seems to only be an option for some operators, those operators that operate in multiple regions. Many operators only operate in the ARIN region, for these operators, I don't see how it is possible to transfer their resources to another RIR, IPv4, ASNs, or IPv6. So, this doesn't seem to be a complete solution. You seem to be leaving a lot of people behind with this solution.
