This argument is as old as the arc - we're not about to reach any
consensus on it here. Some people will number p2p links, so won't, both
camps simply need to live with that.

It might be difficult for providers - many of them seem to be pretty
simple people (lots are even avoiding deploying IPv6 as quickly as
possible...). I think I can manage on my nets however, not all
p2p links run between unrelated parties, with all of the problems that
can add.
We should stop trying to figure out we think is the right way to
number things - there is no answer to that - and instead go back to
look at the technical issues that might force some restrictions.
Only if we can find some of those should restrictions be imposed.
Otherwise, the more flexibility we leave, the more room for future
innovation.
