People have learnt from v4 that you don't give up scarce things.

One day people will pay for them, and as I said the other week if you
want to garbage collect them you'd have to charge a high price to make
it worth giving up (or pay as others have suggested) and people won't
vote for that. A 50 Euro fee is way too low to do it and a pointless
complication to the simplified charging scheme.

I also doubt the unadvertised figure gives the whole picture, some will
be used privately (no idea how many).

I think trying to retrofit other hand back schemes now is futile (it
was hard to hand back once, back when people wanted to hand back)
