Many NANOG folks are busy screaming that everyone who's got pre-RIR

using RFC 1918.
Without getting into whether that's a good idea or not:
This sounds like a policy that would fail the "Don't make a rule you
can't enforce" test. People who really wanted to retain their address
space would simply start advertising routes to it, but have the routes
point to dummy hosts. (It'd be a simple matter to take an old box you
were going to throw out and have it run software to respond to pings on
2^16 addresses.)
