Sure.

It seems to me though, that if renumbering is such a problem, maybe we 
should deal with it directly rather than dump the fallout in the three 
most critical parts of the internet machinery.

Well if you feel you need to take your cues from environmental 
semi-criminals, obviously there isn't much that I can say to stop you.

I'm thoroughly unhappy with the way this is handled at RIPE (regardless 
of the outcome) and I'm not about to go sponsor the airline industry 
some more in order to experience the same frustration in APNIC, LACNIC 
and ARIN meetings. If we're going to make stupid decisions we might as 
well streamline the process to make them as efficiently as possible...
