Another "legitimate" case that will no longer be possible was an argument what was given to me during the discussion of 2015-05: A company becomes LIR because they need "some provider independent" space (which today is limited to ALLOCATED PA) which usually equals to "less than a /24 of actual need, but still a /24 for routing purposes". They don't really need more than a /24 now and on short/medium term, and they estimate that they will not need more than a second /24 (size chose for routing purposes only) even in the longer term. Someone argued that it would be legitimate and desirable for that LIR to put the remaining /23 (considered not ever be a need) on the market. Did this became non-legitimate over-night ?
I would consider this also as a fringe case - legitimate according to the letter of the policy, but not according to the spirit. These /22s are not for trading. But I'm close to giving up on this and calling a ban on further changes to the IPv4 policy - the "new LIR" folks here are accting in a fairly irresponsible way regarding *future* participants, while at the same time complaining that they are treated unfairly by the old LIRs - totally ignoring the fact that *without the foresight of these old LIRs* you wouldn't have any space at all today. This is not the way to do bottom-up policy making - "I want my cookie and I want it now, and I do not care for the greater good".
