What would you propose the RIPE NCC do with revoked address space assignments? Should they just keep them in a "sin bin" or should they allocate or assign the address space to other network operators?

Phone companies reassign telephone numbers all the time, and people don't get terribly upset by the idea of it. Is there a serious problem with revocation? Re-using scarce resources is something that's going to happen, regardless of 2007-01.
