Or IT isn't buying the 'renumbering is easy' argument, for any non-trivial
size company even figuring how where exactly can be IP addresses punched out
statically would be expensive and long process.
If you are pushing for customer to use your PA in their LAN, I'm guessing
net-result is you should never reclaim those addresses after customer leaves,
since chances are, some customers won't renumber, but will 1:1 NAT your PA to
new operator PA, and your next customer with this block will complain about
reachability problems to this other customer.

But at least we can hope it'll be 1:1 NAT + ULA, which I would suggest to my
enterprise customers who won't want to get PI or become LIR.
