Actually, I disagree with your interpretation.  Allocation policy is
not changed - people will still be able to get new allocations under
the same rules, and existing allocations will not be taken away either.  

Section 5.5 is "Transfer Policy", even if it is contained in the 
same document as "Allocation Policy" - and it only affects transfers
that happen to be after it is implemented, not retroactively.

Now, people do get resources with certain assumptions(!) of what they
might want to do with them in the future, or what they *can* do with them
in the future.  Like, "I have this /25 PI space, I can route this on
the Internet!".  We do not make guarantees that people's assumptions hold.

If changing policy to require a holding time breaks the assumption
"I can transfer away this block right away" - well, I think this is 
fully intentional, no?
