Based on never having received such an email and knowing of
several others who haven't either, I disagree.

  "All in good time my pretty..."
  We are working on the 192.x.x.x swamp right now.
  Rough estimates (with much more accurate data @ NANOG)

    60% - invalid or missing contact information
    25% - in use & unwilling to renumber
    15% - willing to renumber or return

  This is from ~6,000 delegated entries. If all goes well,
  we can find some new area to work on sometime in later this
  year.

  Have any suggestions? 198.x.x.x? The old /16 space?
