It seems that only Andrew is concerned - everyone else seems to be
happy. Whether its really enforceable or not - I personally don't care. 
As this is "End Game" - I don't see how this will disadvantage the MTN's
of Africa expanding to the rest of the world - its too late for IPv4!!!
If we catch someone abusing this - then appropriate measures can be
taken.
