Let's call it "conceptual PA". I'm simply asking why something that has the
potential to impact all of us is being numbered into address space other
than their own?

And before the thinkpol start in, I'm referring to the v4 addresses and
their status. It's a fair question since it has major impact on the net. If
the store for legacy v4 addresses is open I'd like to know what street it's
on.
