Keep in mind that's how much ARIN has reclaimed passively, i.e. based on
reports of fraud, or due to non-payment of annual fees.

There seems to be a fairly strong consensus that the numbers would be
significantly larger if ARIN were actively looking for abandoned or
unjustified resources.

Also, keep in mind that the goal is _not_ to reclaim a significant
amount of space, e.g. to extend the lifetime of IPv4, so how the
reclamation rate compares to the allocation/assignment rate is irrelevant.
