As I seem to recall, the @Home proposal (at least what I saw of it after the
fact) was for a potential 50 Million addresses. This definitely puts it out
of the range of a registry decision and moved it to IANA.
Those of us that were in the middle of the IPng address size debate had
predicted a request like this and have not supprise of the outcome.
BTW, there are 'rumours' floating around that China wants a couple of A's or
so...
