Interesting idea, especially as the NCC would need to reshuffle each time a new LIR opens or an old one closes.

As there's basically no use case anymore to *need* a *16* bit ASN, and the distinction was already removed by the NCC, what's the purpose here? Furthermore, what's the reason to force people with a 32 bit ASN to switch to a redistributed 16 bit one besides just causing a lot of work? Especially if this would hit an IXP ...

With AFAIK less than 150,000 assigned out of 4,100,000,000+, I fail to see the scarcity of ASN in the forseeable future. 32 bit IPv4 and 16 bit ASN were too conservative, true. But with 4 billion ASN still available this would allow for about one ASN for every second living human ...
