[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-130: IPv4 Transition Reservation for Every ASN

[Jon Lewis]

I'd exclude legacy AS holders unless they have non-legacy PI ARIN space. 
IME, most legacy space holders got more space than they needed or even 
currently need due to classfull/classless transition.  They don't need one 
last /24 reserved to help with a v4->v6 transition.
