The allocation policies always included room for growth - and in some
cases, growth did not happen as planned, or the customer structure changed,
resulting in some unused allocations.

The IPv4 policy never had terms for reclaiming unused allocations - and
that was pointed out clearly at the address policy working group meeting
two years ago.  There was no mandate from the community either to change
that.

There are a lot of "it should be..." or "it would be nice if...", but
there's also a lot of reality out there.
