The LRSA has only been available since November, 2007 -- a bit over two years. Prior to the LRSA, there was not an easy way for a holder of legacy assignments to sign an RSA.

This suggestion is another nudge to get legacy resources under some sort of agreement and to promote adoption of IPv6. 

If this is not enough motivation to get a legacy resource holder to sign up, then it costs ARIN nothing. If this prompts a number of additional legacy resource holders to sign an LRSA and to start moving to IPv6 (with an RSA), it is a fee waiver well spent.
