Would it make sense for the RIRs to just carve out the bad parts of the blocks, instead of IANA? Under current policy, would reserving "bad" bits make it more difficult for an RIR to get additional allocations?
Under existing policies, there is no way for IANA to carve out pieces of address blocks. The /8s with pieces carved out of them by the IETF are/will be allocated to RIRs with an understanding that the RIRs aren't supposed to allocate the IETF-designated reserved chunks (which, presumably, they won't).
