I can not disagree with you more David.

Mainly because there is no such thing as "legacy resources." There are
legacy resource holders and it has become common for some folks to
refer to the resources allocated or assigned to them to be called
legacy, but there is nothing (not one thing) special or different
about those resources. The fact that the registrant does not have a
contract is potentially a double-edged sword for the resource holder
but again, imparts no special qualities to the resources themselves.

Also, we have been asked several times by the community at large to
stop mucking with IPv4 policy. Since there is no one arguing that
there is "legacy" IPv6 under any definition, I see no reason to muddle
about here, regardless of the definition of "legacy."
