Henry, You are incorrect about choosing what RIN you can assign to an individual. It is the First option in Renumbering RINs and MRINs. I have used it several times. It works when the RIN is not in use, if it is, assign the person using the RIN you want to a new RIN then Renumber. Some may not see the use in it, but it is one of the many options Legacy provides us the User to tailor Legacy according to how the User wants. It just so happens the first few RINs in my file are Direct line Ancestors (like in an Ahnentafel Chart) and is handy in Index and Name List Format, and I have most of those memorized just by using them over the past twenty years.

The importance of RIN numbers have very little to do with genealogy...they are actually only a means for the database to track individuals. Regards Henry p.s. Some individuals use RIN for some of the older methods of filing paper (ugh!)
