Actually, the point is to have something to offer to the newcomers.

If we do not stop the hoarding *now*, there won't be any IPv4 left - would
that be "more fair" to the newcomers?


I wouldn't mind a policy that says "The RIPE NCC does no longer deal in
IPv4 resources at all.  Everything coming back into the RIPE NCC free
pool is returned to IANA." - that would be maximally *fair* (the same
amount of nothing for everybody), but I assume you wouldn't like that
either.
