Surely this will result in much flaming. Maybe it would help to first
think about the concrete effects this would have.

1. Which current services are provided in 3FFE space which cannot
   feasibly move to RIR space?

2. Apart from services provided to the public, which other effects
   would it have to put a timeout on current allocations?

3. Which future developments are hindered if 6bone allocations were
   not available?

Or more generally:

What are 6bones goals today?

Do we still need a "testbed to assist in the evolution and deployment
of IPv6?"

I would argue that "deployment" in the sense of "provide address space
to use IPv6" should no longer be considered part of 6bone's mission.
RIRs now provide this part. Practically 6bone is in direct competition
with RIRs here, providing a different set of criteria, essentially:

- RIR: LIR fees & 200 potential customers
- 6bone: wait 6 months

So what is the concrete benefit of having this cost-free alternative
to RIR allocations?
