You're right, it doesn't make any sense to reassign a block once it's 
been assigned.  However, the question of whether to maintain, remove, or 
mark stale contacts in whois, and/or whether to maintain or remove rDNS 
from companies who've disappeared, is not so straightforward, IMO.

Do you have any opinions on what to do there?
