Everyone is free to submit any proposal, following the PDP.

2019-02 is not about adjustements to the past. It's mainly about 
clarifying rules for the upcoming "waiting list age".

If a proposal to move from /22 to /19 is accepted, the "waiting list age" 
will arrive a lot sooner... :-)

It wasn't "for free". Existing (and new LIRs) received allocations based 
on needs they were able to demonstrate. That was the current policy, 
before Sept/2012.

Allocations (present, past or future) don't depend on the criteria of 
global routing visibility. Company X and company Z might want to 
communicate over a private channel without using private addressing space.
The keyword here is "uniqueness".

You mean 240.0.0.0/4? (i.e. 16x /8s)

I've asked that question myself. The answer from knowledgeable people 
didn't really change anything :-)


Cheers,
Carlos
