Yes, the ARIN staff can do whatever the ARIN community directs it to do with regards to legacy blocks... at least until someone with deep pockets decides to go to court and seriously fight against whatever the community decided to do. I feel sure that it would greatly simplify the lives of both John Curran and the entire ARIN staff if all of the legacy resources could, without any consequences, just be returned to inventory. But I don't see that as being at all likely, particularly in the case of the non-dead legacy resources holders, many of which would surely sue. And here is where the example of AFRINIC becomes a cautionary tale. For my own part, I feel entirely content to leave well enough alone when it comes to non-dead registrants of legacy resources. Where a legacy resource is still assigned to a dead/dissolved entity however, I believe that reclamation is appropriate, and if it were done then it isn't even clear who, if anyone, would even have standing to sue over that.
