And that should always be the expected, release them to ARIN which 
should be the only actor taking care of it.
I really fail to understand how can one consider legit that a 3rd party 
could be doing this job otherwise.

If everybody sticks that what is expected, things work better, is much 
better to trust ARIN to do this plus in the end doing in such way 
doesn't least space for speculation, price rises and community have the 
assurance that the one who is intermediating it is someone really 
neutral and with no other interests to the business other than make sure 
the policies are being followed.
