Nigel would you not consider directly returning 4 entire /8s back to IANA not significant?
Hmmmm, 4 months supply? No, I don't think that is a significant amount. Sure, where there are low hanging fruit like that it makes sense to put in the effort and clean things up even if it is only 4 months supply. But step back and look at the big picture, and even IANA's issue with smaller blocks, probably won't make much difference one way or another. In fact, you could consider that to be a nice cushion so that when everybody says the cupboard is bare, IANA can raise their hand and say "here are a few sweepings from the back corner that we could hand out if anyone can use a few crumbs". --Michael Dillon
