It takes me about 3-5 hours of work to track down and get an old unused ASN to be deallocated. How about updating the 2010 charging model so that LIRs that return ASNs are compensated?
I don't think this is a good way of using RIR funds. Why should the old guys receive even more special treatment? RIPE's charging scheme already discriminates heavily against newcomers.
beancounters know how cut expenses, not how to increase sales. thus, they (though well-meaning) shrink the company and eventually drive it into the ground. the real path is to move forward, increase income, and grow. perhaps there is a lesson here. move on to 4-byte asns. randy
