Well, would, for example, the Euro6IX allocation have been made under the
existing SubTLA allocation rules?  I don't believe so.

The new SubTLA rules are more relaxed; the sudden take-off in allocations
makes me believe people who were using pTLAs are migrating (most of the
European research networks have, for example), or new requests are bypassing
the pTLA stage (which they can now do).   The "experimentors" are already
running in 2001:: space.
