If you forgot to pay your bill and ARIN reissues your ASN, it's a matter of
perspective who the hijacker is.

I'm not saying it's OK to not pay your bill, but how punitive should we be
asking ARIN staff to be?  Especially, if ARIN staff has every reason to
believe the organization using the ASN is the original registrant?  And if
we the internet routing community are not will to be the bad guys and stop
routing it after ARIN staff signals us by removing it from the registry.
When what are we really expecting?

We're not being very forthright, if we ask ARIN staff to break things that
we the internet routing community are not will to break ourselves.

Do we really need to recycle these ASN bad enough to cause intentional
breakage?  Then we need to stop using them in the internet routing system!
