We already have a reviewed and approved prefixes registry.

Given nothing is broken here, and the current solution has been reviewed for 2+ years, and with careful consideration approved by the working group, this does not seem like change that should be considered (or perhaps even suggested) at this very late point in the process.

Thanks,
Chris.
