Cry foul all you want but the situation still exists.  Perhaps I am misusing
the term 'hoarding'.  Please suggest another term for "holding on to unused
IPv4 space with disregard for the good of the community until the IPv4 space
is worth a lot of money so I can sell it".

At this point whether or not the applications for space were filled out
faithfully is moot.  Also much of the unused space was granted long before
the applications we use today existed.

You don't think 2008-6 is an unrestricted transfer proposal?

I believe I am taking the high road and looking out for what IMO is the good
of the community. I just happen to believe that it is necessary in this
instance to be vocal. I very rarely purposefully take the low road.
