naive question before we switch terms. is erx == legacy i.e. pre-ncc? no strange corner cases? I'd guess there are corner cases if you take 'pre ncc' literally. 1992/3 there were 'registries of last resort' and I'm not sure those pools were solely filled by the NCC. There was also a famous, then, /8 assignment, the mechanics of which would be interesting to research. i think we need to agree on a noun to denote exactly those allocations which were issued pre-ncc and are currently outside the ncc membership and policy space.
because arin does not have erx space per se, i am used to the term 'legacy' but am happy with anything.
I think pretty well everyone is happy with "legacy", apart from maybe Jim :-) Nigel
