<p class="">It is positive that many of these legacy holder returned some of their unneeded IPv4 resources in the past. However I personally believe it is something negative that there is still a fair amount of these addresses unused and not even announced
to the DFZ as if they were waiting for some big Internet event to happen.</p>

<p class="">I really don't mind Legacy Holders to keep addresses that were assigned to them ages ago as long they have a justification for using them.

The ARIN community has never developed or adopted any policy to the effect that legacy resources </div>
<div>holders must justify their resources in order to keep them, so this should not be a matter of concern. </div>

<p class="">In the other hand I am unable to believe any organization in the entire world that is not a Telecommunications or a Hosting Company is able to technically justify more and a single /8.</p>
