We've had customers leave and go elsewhere after refusing to give them IP's they didn't need because they were convinced by some SEO 'expert' that they need a bunch of doorway sites on a variety of /24's. If someone is willing to leave their host over that, there are certainly going to be hosts willing to dish up IP's for SEO reasons, and the waste of addresses continues.
I'll take that one further: I got -fired- my first day after explaining why using proxy servers spread across the world to "present" websites from different IP addresses a) did nothing to help their search result rankings and b) was a complete waste of resources.....
