What's interesting about this is it was not an ARIN allocation,
So.. this is/was a legacy allocation, right? with some 'not great' contact/etc info... the ARIN folk could have said: "Well.... sure! if the current folk who control access can positively show they do AND they don't mind parting with a /10... ok?"
This ends up with a /10 of a /8 with better registration information and MAYBE better records keeping over time, right? that seems like a win to the ARIN community?
