We’ll certainly take a look at that.

Right now we still have unallocated address space, both in 103/8 and in the 
reclaimed/reserved pool.  So there can still be still bogons.

We will continue to reclaim address space from closed members, and perhaps we 
will be able to reclaim some of the unused address space in APNIC ranges.  When 
we do that, we always reserve the reclaimed space for some time, before 
reallocating it.  This is precisely to ensure that the space is not being 
announced (which would be a bogon), or subject to other blacklisting or quality 
issues.

So, bogons can exist in future, any time that a currently unallocated address 
block appears in the routing table.  But whether ISPs will filter them is 
another question.

Paul.
