… and I support it -- some folk have a need for more than 1023 "private" ASNs and *really really* don't want to do the "just reuse the same one and then use something like the 'allows-in' and similar hacks".

Yes, going to an RIR and requesting a few thousand global ASes is possible, but to me seems inelegant.

Close to 100,000 reserved ones feels overly large to me, but it does line up nicely on a (decimal) boundary.
