Well, new entrants have neither, so expecting them to show IPv6
deployment (or allocation) is moot. If the policy is updated as such, it
will be good to make this distinction clear.

That said, I'm not so sure about creating a "new entrants" IPv4 pool.

business to circumnavigate the policy. But it would be nice to hear
other views. Personally, I'm still 50/50...
