This should not be just a “nitpick". AT&T announces our extremely legacy ARIN allocation for us because we do not qualify to have an ASN, but I absolutely did not, will not, and*have actively resisted attempts to* transfer the block to them.

Having an ASN was not a requirement when we were allocated the resource, and I don’t see why we should be punished for being early adopters.
How exactly is it punishment that BGP needs an AS number? If AT&T won't support a private AS number for the last mile then that's AT&T, not ARIN. If you're a legacy holder you should be around long enough to know this stuff and that it's not some conspiracy that BGP uses AS numbers.
