I agree with you. If a legacy owner sells all or part of their legacy IP space, that IP space should lose its legacy status.
Why? And how? How could e.g. a RIPE or other RIR policy be used to implement this when by admission of all, RIR policies do not apply to legacy space?
They can't - but they can refuse to provide the "free" RIR services to anyone other than either the original legacy allocation holder, or the current holder of the entire original legacy allocation. If you buy or lease a portion of the legacy address space, then as far as the RIRs are concerned, you should not be given any special treatment. Simon
