This keeps turning into an ever more useful page.  Kudos to the author!

What are the RIRs doing to reclaim all those "red" lines of allocations 
that have never once appeared in a routing table?  I would say all 
assignments from before Jan 2002 and that have "never" in the "last seen" 
column are ripe for revocation.  Question is, why hasn't this been done 
before and has this been discussed so far?
