The Last /8 Policy is intended to provide for two things: 1. A single small block of IPs (/22) for new organisations who join the internet. 2. A single small block of IPs (/22) for existing organisations who didn't plan for the end of IPv4 very well so they could deploy some kind of 6-to-4-whatever in that /22. Because businesses merge and do take-overs and that kind of thing in the normal course of existing, transfers related to mergers and acquisitions have to be possible. Anything else than the above is abuse of the Last /8 Policy and no amount of semantic masturbation is going to change that. If a business needs to abuse this policy to survive, it has no right to exist. And if you really do need more addresses to survive, IPv4 is over guys, deal with it. As always, time will tell if this proposal will stop this kind of abuse, but it's a step in the right direction.
