Subject: Maximum aggregation in reserved parts of IPv6 space

May I suggest to consider the following change in the table in

  <http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space/>

In order to realise maximum aggregation in this table

  4000::/3              Reserved by IETF        [RFC4291]
  6000::/3              Reserved by IETF        [RFC4291]
  8000::/3              Reserved by IETF        [RFC4291]
  A000::/3              Reserved by IETF        [RFC4291]

might be replaced by

  4000::/2              Reserved by IETF        [RFC4291]
  8000::/2              Reserved by IETF        [RFC4291]

This is mathematically more pleasing and conveys the right message of
maximum aggregation where possible.

I am interested in your opinion concerning this suggestion.
