Uh, Filiz, there is no real difference between "old policy" and "with
2013-03 in place" in that regard.  Both limit the address space that 
a single LIR can "rush and get whatever is left" to a *single /22*.

So if you want to hoard, you need to open 5000 LIRs today, each of them
applying for a /22, and documenting the need for a *single* IPv4 address
(as the /22 allocation is not sized based on the difference between "I need
a single address" vs. "I need a /8" - need is need) and a single IPv4
address is easier documented than a new corporation opened to become LIR.

If you want it after 2013-03 is in place, you need to open 5000 LIRs,
each of them applying for a /22, and not documenting the need for a single
IPv4 address anymore.  But you still need to incoprorate 5000 companies.


The only place where "document need" makes a difference is if a LIR already
has allocated space, which needs to be filled to 80% today, and that would
go away with 2013-03 - but there is just no way a single LIR can "grab the
rest of the last /8 pool".  But maybe I'm misunderstanding your point?

(The /22 in the "last /8 policy" was chosen to ensure that every single
LIR in existence today can get their /22, and we'll still have some left -
the /8 will last for 16.000 /22s, and the number of active LIR is still
below 9000 today)
