I'm sorry, but ARIN's policy practically _encourages_ the "efficient wasting" of space to qualify for PI space. This is one of the most frustrating things to deal with.
As someone who used to run a registry, one of the most frustrating things to deal with was watching ISPs pee in their own pool and then scream at the registries 'cause the water was yellow. Just how big should the DFZ be? Given the Internet is not (yet, at least) a fascist state, the registries rely on ISPs to be aware of the environment in which they are operating. As it is unlikely any of the registries will be hiring independent auditing firms to verify true utilization, there is need for a certain level of trust. If an ISP is too small to justify the allocation of a /20, then they should obtain address space from an upstream provider so that they do not add yet another entry to the DFZ. The term "tragedy" in "the tragedy of the commons" is not a mistake... Rgds, -drc
