IMHO, the rules that qualify someone for an AS number should qualify them for a prefix. It need not be a truly long prefix, but larger than a /48.I agree with the first part, but, a /48 is 65,536 64 bit subnets. Do you really think most organizations need more than that? Or, by larger than a /48 did you mean a longer prefix (smaller allocation/assignment)?
The important part there is "most networks".What about a network that is not one of "most networks"? My point is that one size does not fit all, and that "most" != "all". So I think we need a policy that applies in the general case, a policy that applies in specific cases where the general case doesn't work, and a rule for saying which policy applies.
