Apropos nothing, I sometimes wonder if it would be worthwhile to set up a "legacy registry" to maintain all the old out-of-contract address registrations. ARIN was pretty helpful when LACNIC and AfriNIC wanted split off. If it was the consensus of the legacy registrants to operate their own registry, I'd hope ARIN would be reasonably generous about it. Should even be easier than a normal RIR since a legacy registry would have no need for number allocations from IANA. And now that IPv4 addresses have a significant monetary value, I'd like to think we could find the funding to operate such a registry as well. That way we could get rid of the periodic legacy v. RSA battles that infest our policy discussions. The legacy registrants would have whatever policy they wanted to have at the legacy registrar and that would be the end of it.
