Second this; been there, done that as Hostmaster in the late 90's —
while you could get another /16 e. g. for your growing dial up or
hosting business, you had to present proper documentation on how
you are using your already allocated space. And there were audits,
especially if you did foobar your documentation in the past. And
THAT was a PITA ;-) </memorylane>

Anyway, IPv4 is gone now. It was clear from the beginning of the RIR
system that IPv4 suppy will run out sooner or later; with CIDR the
inflexible Class A/B/C system was removed (so with a need for 1000
addresses you didn't justify to receive a whoppy /16 directly anymore),
but IPv4 would run out nonetheless. Let's focus on the future: IPv6 ...
