100% support on this... "Cleaning-up" rules/processes would be a very good
idea, because companies end their activity, or get bought by other
companies, and in these cases a re-evaluation of the RIR's
allocations could help save some "resources" :-)
Portugal is perhaps not a great example by its reduced size, but what we
are seeing here is that big ISPs are buying smaller ISPs, and smaller
ISPs that cant get bought are on route to simply close doors... :-(
