I would think that it's actually very easy to do when
sub-allocations are SWIP'ed.

Not that I'm really defending this policy, but sub-allocations are

very often not SWIPed. I'd say 75% or more of the time I'm looking a
problem IP address it is part of a /19 or larger block with no sub-
allocation.

Please read what I wrote:

I cannot, and will not, presuppose that in cases when they are
not SWIP'ed that some kind of magic happens. :slight_smile:

Exactly, so why not just block whatever the suballocation is? Would mean that companies that properly SWIP their IP-blocks and put in the effort to maintain them, are given an advantage to companies that do not.
