intended as general purpose IP blocks, and are ONLY allowed to be used for the IPv6 trasition (DNS servers, NAT64 gateways, etc).
Some people tell me that "last /8" in RIPE-land is supposed to serve the same purpose, even if it's not written. Plus, you *CAN* get more than 4 x /24 in ARIN-land (to date 2 x /24, but the allocation rate is really low).
People violating the ARIN rules shouldn't be used as an excuse for us to change the rules in RIPE.

ARIN does not count them as part of the available ranges for allocation, so we should not assume they are part of the normal pool.
It's not the violation of ARIN rules, it's the fact that ARIN is *NOT* v4-exhausted. They still have available space, even if they call it otherwise. And it's used (or at least supposed) to reward people with real IPv6 deployment.
