But you just named a reason: to be able to document where a certain network block "went to", and to document the allocation/assignment hierarchy in a transparent way without upsetting the NCC's tools.
This is the "status: LIR-PARTITIONED" (formerly my "LIR-ALLOCATED") proposal. This doesn't add any new registry types or change policy in any way but does provide (among other things) the documentation function.
From what I understood reading Nuranis document and also discussing this at the LIR-WG session, there seems to be desire to move this further:
* documentation, as in your proposal * and also do "hierarchical allocation", which will affect the 80% usage rule (imagine a LIR with many sub-allocations that tries to achieve internal aggregation - this will nearly automatically clash with the conservation goal). So there is a policy aspect involved, which the LIR-PARTITIONED proposal doesn't cover, but which seems to be desired.
