The RFC seeks to avoid a registry so we end up with the potential for
many as a result. May as well have had ARIN do it officially in the
first place so there'd only be one.

Given our failure rate with registries of AS numbers, IP address blocks, and
routing table entries, and the fact we have no special reason to believe that
we'll be able to sprinkle Magic ULA Dust all over it and avoid all the failure
modes of registries, we're probably better off just randomly generating them
and just hope for no collisions.
