I don't manage any IPv4 allocations, but I'll bet there are some out there on the list that do; it's probably worth taking a peek to ensure that your favorite blocks don't look too disused.
All the more reason to move to IPv6. I'm on Rogers and have a block of 18.4 billion, billion (2^64) addresses to myself. There are so many IPv6 addresses available, that every person on earth could have over 4000 /48 prefixes, of 2^80 addresses each. Not worth anyone's effort to steal them.
Actually, this is suggestive of a talk topic... I have thus far pretty actively evaded involvement with IPv6. I keep adding "-4" stanzas to the startups of ISC services ;-) But I'd like to do better than that; my Debian instances would be decently happy speaking IPv6, I think, and probably my Android devices, too. I have a mix of OpenWRT/DDWRT routers, probably could operate IPv6 at that layer, too. Actually, this is perhaps a good place for a meeting of some short topics on IPv6... -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
