Come up with a viable definition “new real entrant”. It’s not as easy as you 
seem to think it is.

Now consider how that can be policed. How much is that going to cost? Will the 
NCC have to buy a DNA sequencer and demand samples from anyone wanting address 
space? [And what about identical twins?] BTW every LIR is a legal entity and 
can only get exactly one v4 allocation under the current policy.

This should already be happening. Though there may well be unscrupulous people 
who look for and maybe find ways to manipulate the system. No IPv4 allocation 
policy is perfect or foolproof. The one we’ve got is good enough. It doesn’t 
need fixing.
