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.
