Actually, I agree -- but don't tell the folks that think getting 
a couple of /8s back from HP, Apple, and the DOD is going to significant
difference in the timing of IPv4 exhaustion.  :-)

I still think that anything you aren't using should go back to the
pool that allows new comers a chance to participate in
commerce/communication.  I don't, however, think that a slew of 
/20s (or /8s) are going to make a big impact.
