As much as I sympathize with the LIRs that are suffering under the
restrictions of the last/8 policy (one of our customers just opened an
LIR in order to get their own /22 ... which is NOT enough to supply all
of their business customers, let alone the home users, with unique IPv4
addresses), I do also have to oppose the proposition.
What I could maybe live with would be if the additional addresses would
be available from a pool of returned IPv4 addresses only, and only to
those with available space smaller than /X (like, e.g. /20 or /19)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
