A major concern would be if the IP address were eventually re-assigned to something else that ended up reporting false answers due to a malicious or misconfigured DNS service.
Hi Jim, That's one reason I suggested intentionally making it a false responder for the final year of its post-service hold. Return wildcard A and AAAA records for all queries pointing to a web site which responds to any URL with, "Hey buddy, your DNS software is so grossly out of date that now it's broken and will stay broken until you fix it." Anybody still sending queries after that gets what they get and deserves it -- as long as the time that passes until the final year is long enough that only the most reckless and incompetent users are still sending queries.
