Remember that the waitlist is section 4.1.8; it is an animal of section 4 and 
therefore the “show need” requirements are much more stringent than for 8.3 
(specified transfer).  A new company (that has no previous history with ARIN 
and no reassignments from upstreams) will qualify for a /24 (see 4.2.2).

Sure, and tweaks over time may become necessary if this turns out to not be 
enough friction for a shady transaction.  I don’t believe anyone ever thought 
this will 100.000% eliminate all questionable transactions, only that by 
keeping a lid on the upside for gaming the system we could minimize the harm 
without making things unduly difficult on organizations that need space but can 
wait for it.

The counter argument is that putting such time restrictions in place is not 
aligned with accuracy in whois, which is of benefit to everyone.
