Nope. If you look at the allocation history of the two members which 
received these /12, I hardly doubt they are actually going to use this space 
within the next 3 months. One member received a total of less than /14 
within two years, and the other member got his last /14 two about years ago.

We all know that inflated allocation requests have been common habit in the 
past in this community but as we are going to run out within weeks or even 
days I do expect the hostmaster team to watch this with more care, 
especially when working on large requests.
