I think organisations that have obtained portable address ranges from RIRs should have the liberty to use public ASNs from day one (if they want to) regardless of whether they are single homed or multihomed.
Also, a lot of times organisations get more than one Internet link (for redundancy etc) from the same provider so theoretically they are "not multihomed" as they use the same provider.
I am not sure if the current proposal allows for assignment of a public ASN for the above situation?
If not, then this should be brought into scope because controlling traffic and AS-loops using private ASNs becomes challenging for organisations that have single-homed-but-multiple-links-to-same-provider-scenarios

This is where the big different in philosophy is.
I want to be able to choose to get an ASN and ready my network to be multi-homed - 'at some point'
Dean says do it with private ASN and then reconfigure your network when you are ready.
Frankly, I still think this is telling me how to plan the building of my networks - and telling me when I should do the work.
