Thank you for a constructive suggestion.   Do you have wording you would
suggest be at the bottom of an application for allocation that would make
this clear?

What about the criteria which might cause withdrawal or change?  These would
seem to need spelling out to make the game 'fair' and not have surprises.

Uh, given the current weak renumbering technology, getting space and losing
it a year or so later would seem onerous if one had not done something to
'deserve' it.
