I am curious. Once we're nearing exhausting all IPv4 space will there ever come a time to ask/demand/force returning all these legacy /8 allocations? <snip>
Legacy vs RIR allocated/assigned space is not a proper distinction, in-use vs not-in-use is a much better defining line for this debate. Folks have been asked to return unused space for quite some time now, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1917. Unless/until governments get involved, there is no one to demand or force the return of any space. If that happens, we likely all lose.
