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?
