Still waiting on ARIN to get back to my argument that I am allowed to
assign /32s to my subtending ISPs who are of X size or are multihomed.

If the initial allocation from ARIN is only for current infrastructure
and customers (the bare minimum), there is no room for reservation, nor
will customers have room to grow in the initial allocation. This is the
problem with minimal on initial instead of HD-Ratio (which is what the
rest of the policy is based on), but it could lead to fragmented networks.
