Current ISPs are having so much trouble trying to get a small /20 for
existing customers that they should start revoking addresses from
companies not using them.
Lots of major companies with /8 and /16 are using a /20 worth of
addresses.
I think there should be somekind of guideline that is more up to date with
todays reality and if revoking is the only good way to do so, let's do it.
