So, if I need to break up my /32 into 4 /34s to cover different geographical
regions, I should instead renumber into a new range set aside for /34s
and give back the /32?  Sure seems like a lot of extra overhead.
Perhaps we should give everyone an allocation out of each filter
range, so that they can simply number from the appropriately-classed
range; when you apply for space, you'd get a /32, a /33, a /34, a /35,
a /36, etc. all from the appropriate, statically defined ranges.

I think ARIN proposal 2009-5
(https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2009_5.html) is designed to cope with
the situation you describe. I understand that it's on the agenda for the
meeting in Dearborn.
