No, not as implemented by ARIN.  I have posted to this list before my case
for why need-base should go away now, and in a post free pool world, and
definately for ipv6

Conservation has harmed the internet and forced NAT into nearly all
corporate, home, and mobile networks while also holding back progress on
ipv6.

I also have to use a ton of v4 squat.

No. It is simply not how the internet works.  Look a bgp table, it tells
the story of v4 and v6 not being aggregated accept by peering policy of /24
and /48

Yes. But i use squat ipv4 in a very large production environment

No. ARIN is an open community. Which sounds nice, but there is no minimum
bar on participation. Frankly, ip address admistration is not a magnet for
top engineering  talent.  It may be a magnet for lawyer talent.

ARIN is not a fit steward. As noted in previous mails, comcast has 4 ipv4
addresses per subscriber. I dont even have 0.25 addresses per sub.

My only point is that it's not purely equitable, it's how you work the
system.

+1. This is my view only. I run a network.

One of my least favorite parts of ppml is mental thumb-wrestling
