Which somewhat explains why this group reminds me of a bunch of decapitated
hens.
Would it be correct to interpret your last sentence as:
We don't what the underlying cause of the growth in prefixes
is (new allocations, old allocations, ISP's not aggregating).
With other words, we don't even know if the I-D in question is fixing the
right problem.
