If this space is reclaimed on the simplistic basis of "it wasn't in the public routing table yesterday (or ever)" then reassigned, suddenly the original assignee finds their private and confidetial traffic might start leaking out one of their public connections. Great.
You have a problem if security depends on your network resources not being announced to the outside.

The legitimacy of private use of allocations is an important issue in that discussion. Poor network security, however, is no excuse. //per
