I strongly advise against quick reallocation of returned AS numbers.   
Returned AS numbers should stay out of service for a substantial period 
of time.

why?  because someone somewhere might have policy with one of these ASNs
hard-coded?  I believe they've been doing this since at least 1999, a far
longer moratorium than necessary.  obviously there is some other goal.
