[ i made no proposal.  i was just a bit scared by the instant "we need
to DO SOMETHING" reaction. ]  but what you say seems somewhat prudent,
at least leaving the judgement where it normally is.

tough one.  those 'bad' blocks will seem less and less bad over time.
but can we not expect the hostfolk at the rirs to kinda order the
available queue on this, as well as other appropriate attributes?  i.e.
is this not more process than policy?

i am not saying all is well here.  i am just trying to move slowly and
pretend to think while on my first cuppa.
