I think we are already at near exhaustion and the only loosening discussion
I've seen is at the low end. I seriously doubt that the forces that are for
full needs requirements now will change their mind just because ARIN has less
resources to allocate. They like the status quo and they show almost no desire
to even compromise.

We're going to be a cross-roads very soon. ARIN is going to exhaust, and
network operators will be unable to obtain additional IPv4 address blocks from
ARIN. At that point, the most obvious solution for IPv4 needs will be the
market. Proper stewardship of the ARIN function demands that ARIN policy
adjust to what happens in the market. It's not the other way around, if only
because that's not how markets work.
The ARIN CEO, ARIN's General Counsel, the Harvard economist ARIN pays,
professors who study markets, brokers who operate in the market, and buyers and
sellers who buy and sell in the market have all told the ARIN community the
same story for around 5 years now: the market is going to act as a market, and
ARIN policy needs to be ready for it; ARIN policy needs to make sense with the
dynamics of the market.
It's hard to know how to argue with operators like Owen and the Google folks
who all say the opposite; that ARIN policy should stick to the same ideals as
1995 (important ideals for a very long time!) and not adjust. I fear the
results of this kind of ostracism :(
