Certainly this is outside the scope of ARIN-prop-132, but wouldn't we
be frying a bigger fish by tackling what qualifies as justification
and requiring more efficient use of space? I've seen hosting providers
offering some really silly justification to ARIN and giving out one or
more /24's with a dedicated server in exchange for a small fee.

Perhaps single customers of /24's and shorter should have to remit
their justification directly to ARIN on a revolving basis to prevent
waste and fraud. If I tell a customer that their justification is poor
and refuse to issue space, some other provider will become more
creative with the justification and grant them the same. Centralizing
the justification of space at a more micro level would certainly have
an impact.
