It is positive that many of these legacy holder returned some of their unneeded

negative that there is still a fair amount of these addresses unused and not 
even announced to the DFZ as if they were waiting for some big Internet event 
to happen.

It is not possible to infer that resources are unused simply from the fact that 
they are “not announced to DFZ”...

I really don't mind Legacy Holders to keep addresses that were assigned to them 
ages ago as long they have a justification for using them.

The ARIN community has never developed or adopted any policy to the effect that 
legacy resources
holders must justify their resources in order to keep them, so this should not 
be a matter of concern.

In the other hand I am unable to believe any organization in the entire world 
that is not a Telecommunications or a Hosting Company is able to technically 
justify more and a single /8.

I will note that very large organizations have networking needs that rival or 
even exceed that of many
telecommunications firms.

Thanks,
