Removing experimental status does not equate with the burden of making 
it equivalent use to the rest of the address space.

How about the ARIN burn rate post IANA runout? How long does 16 /8 last 
then?

What would be wrong with removing experimental status and allowing one 
of the /8 to be used for low barrier to /16 assignment to any party 
demonstrating a willingness to coax usability of the space?

Yes, any such effort has to run the gauntlet of IETF/IANA/RIR policy.

CGN /10 managed. This could too, if all the naysayers would just step 
out of the way.
