We are heading towards address resource scarcity.  Fights have a habit of 
breaking out when people jostle for scarce resources.

Are you saying that revocation shouldn't happen?  It means that all 
assignments are given in perpetuity, unless the holder explicitly hands the 
address space back.  If the address space isn't used, or if the holder 
disappears, then the address space is lost forever.  It's a memory leak 
which needs to be fixed.
