Actually, the ARIN community consists explicitly of everyone within
the ARIN region (including, but not limited to, legacy address
holders) and implicitly of anyone in the world who wishes to
participate.

> deciding unilaterally not to collaborate with legacy holders by attempting to force them to submit themselves to a policy regime that goes against their interests, is in my estimation unlikely to be successful.

I obviously did not make myself clear, let me try again: Fragmentation
and balkanization of the Internet is against the interests of all who
use the Internet (including, but not limited to, legacy address
holders).

Cheers,
