John,
Why should we announce tiny recycled blocks? If there is a /16 in the
swamp in which half the space is free but its all /24's, why wouldn't
wouldn't we allocate all the free /24's to a single entity and
instruct the entity to announce it as a "holey" /16? The existing /24
holders will override (punch holes in) the /16 for their /24's.
Regards,
Bill Herrin
