Will LACNIC's and AfriNIC's next allocation request be for 2 /8s? And
are slow landing conservative policies in place to handle these two /8s?
And if not, when will they be developed?

LIRs will have to define this. What will they be? JPNIC proposes N=1
with more conservative allocation policies. Who will define those?
Everyone is deserving in their own eyes. It becomes a "lawyers win,
everyone else loses".

I don't see that. People will shop whatever value of N>0 is chosen. :-(
Let's set N=0 and move on to a more useful discussion as to where we go
from 2010 onwards. There are bigger problems facing us than trying to
preserve the past.
