What remains to be seen is what will happen when someone says "hey, my

a) Sure, here's another /32, have fun!
b) You didn't subnet very efficiently by current standards even though
it was encouraged in the past; try to reclaim some space internally.

We returned our vintage year 2000 /32 to RIPE and got a brand shiny new /25 instead. It helps to have a couple of tens of million customers. We hope we never have to pollute the DFZ, by just having a single prefix for the forseeable future.
