We expect the RIPE NCC to keep track on where resources are - so the
more ASNs are "handed out like they are free", the more work *and thus
costs* we create for the NCC in future years.

So a reclaim mechanism is required - the real question is, of course,
what that mechanism should be.  Pay NCC staff to go out and ask LIRs
"is this ASN still in use? is the data accurate? can you return it?",
or create an incentive for them to come back voluntarily.

Of course this would also mean "the 1-2 million not charged to ASN
holders would need to be paid by everyone else".  TANSTAAFL.
