This fundamentally changes the character of the proposal. The point of
the original proposal was to tell ARIN what to do with returned
addresses -until further notice-, not to tell them what to do pending
activity at IANA.

We don't want addresses returned to IANA. Period. Unconditionally.
Someday we'll change our minds, but not today. Please stop sneaking
exceptions back in and pretending it's the same policy proposal.
