ARIN Policies do require Linode to SWIP their customer allocations,
so the fact that they are not doing so is actually a violation of policy.

Linode (and VR) probably shouldn't SWIP their datacenter blocks,
but this isn't really covered in policy one way or the other.

Get Linode to SWIP your blocks for starters.
