The definition of what is acceptable is context-sensitive. If the holder of the /8 finds 16 organizations that
each need a /24, I don't have a problem with that. What I don't want is for a holder of a /8 that finds
an organization that needs a /20 selling them 16 disjoint /24s to meet that need.

What about when Org C goes bankrupt and Org B is one of the bidders for their space?

Merger: The same thing that happens now with RIR-issued /24s. the combined Org B+C continues to advertise both /24s.

Bankruptcy: Depends on the timing. If it is within 1 year of Org B having received some other
sub-block, then, Org B is an ineligible bidder.
