Since there are no more "/22 to be acquired", I would argue for "this
can be reverted, 2 years after the last /22 has been given out".

While I did (and do) agree with the decision back then, the intent of the
policy is "govern transfers between independent legal entities", and
"I buy your business, including your assets" is not what was the original
target (as this sort of "transfer" has always been possible, without explicit
governing policy).

I would not object to that :-)
