I'd prefer to see a /16 - rather than /17. Makes rDNS much simpler if
someone gets a full /16. Also reduces the total number of players to 64
(if everyone gets a /16) which means we might actually use the space in
a reasonable time period.

Fine - as long as one can return multiple times without any limits ( or
is that a /17 (preferably a /16))

I would have preferred to see inclusion of the Reserved Space - a Phase
3, where anyone who has less than a /20 can get enough space to bring
them to a total of a /20. That should keep us going for a number of
years - for either small players or new players in the future.
