Agree.
But apart from "critical infrastructure" there might maybe (or maybe i'm
dreaming) come new technologies about that can enable a new&better
transition mechanism and require a few IPv4 addresses. I think intention
is to reserve for this rather than "critical infrastructure".
I might be wrong.
This is your chance to tell me ;-)

Frank you are right; i was considering factors really unforeseen, especially in implementation of newer technologies -

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the Problem.

"... to decide when and if the block should be returned"
I would say.
And I favour that option.
