Also makes me wonder if there are historical versions of this registry available. If reclamation of large blocks such as this becomes commonplace, will many of the legacy allocations simply become footnotes? (In the registry document, as well as in history?)
This has already happened in many cases; address blocks previously held by US DoD, BBN, Stanford were returned, held for a period, and then reissued.
Indeed yes. And these returned blocks aren't noted in the IANA registry (for good reason I guess; the registry is meant to be current.) Is this historical information noted anywhere? -S.
