In theory, that sounds great. However, the legal basis for actually
taking them back is questionable since they pre-date the RIR system,
registration agreements, utilization requirements, etc. And, in
practice, those who _aren't_ using their assignments have, for the most
part, given them back voluntarily, so it's a moot point.
Also, as in the case at hand, most of the blocks that generate
complaints turn out to be, upon closer examination, actively in use but
just not advertised--at least on the particular internet that the
complainer is using. Hint: there is more than one internet.
