Get as much IP space as you ever dreamed of, was: Re: Looking to buy IPv4 addresses from class C swamp

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.
