I think such a page and then spamming the legacy holders with the
information might be worthwhile.

As ARIN would then be spamming them anyway with this information, an
additional incentive, like the one proposed by Owen DeLong might be a
good idea to spam along, also raising IPv6 awareness to them.

One could also go propose a "Sign IPv4 RSA for legacy space at 50% of
normal fees when also getting IPv6 space (under RSA+normal
fees+justification)" option.

Nevertheless, a good information page about legacy space, what it is in
the first place and how to easily get an RSA signed for it, might be
very worthwhile.
