Every time the toxic arguments about legacy holders rear their head on
PPML I become more convinced that the legacy holdings should be forked
off to a distinct registry. Let legacy registrants sign a contract (or
not) which establishes no obligations on the registrant's part and buy
services (or not) as they choose. And let ARIN be ARIN without the
baggage.

As long as the legacy registrants are within ARIN, the fairness
question will remain unresolvable. It's not fair that modern
registrants face compulsions under an adhesion contract while older
registrants do not. Nor is it fair to expect older registrants to
accept an adhesion contract whose compulsive nature was not so much as
a gleam in anyone's eye when they joined the ranks of TCP/IP users.
