this was the original ARIN proposal 2005-1, which could not reach consensus. The last time around it was re-worked to add more restrictions and again failed because other folks felt it was too restrictive. There are actually two issues:
1) the high cost of renumbering in a large organization
Why should they renumber, if it's their own block?
2) multi-homing for network reliability and resiliency
Where's the problem here? Someone who can afford and establish a case for _real_ multihoming can get an ASN and thus an assignment. Like was already said - loosening the ASN handout rules needs changes in assignment rules, too. But that's for years to come.
