I have to respectfully (strongly) disagree with this. Unless there is a strong policy about the boundaries and boundaries are fixed, it leaves the door open to chaos (and while I am a great fan of a chaotic open internet,
there are limits).

I will strongly suggest not to go down there as it raises several other issues which cannot really be addressed here. A registry can not guaranty
reservation at 100% for several reasons. Further more, reservation has
an impact on global policy as it has to be taken in account for requesting
subsequent allocation from IANA. I think the role of our registration
service is to make sure that provision is made for reasonable growth and
for reasonable period. Trust the registry on that.
I agree with Adiel, and I reiterate, we should leave this to the registry. We have given them a job and IMHO, they are doing it well so far.
