Good point... I don't see the logic in allocating things that way either...
Maybe someone on the list who is associated with ICANN or IANA can shed some
light on the logic behind this...

Does anyone know what they are smoking?

What is happening here? How do these allocations ICANN->ARIN come
to be? Why are they allocating /22s at /14 (!) boundaries?
This sort of looks like "ICANN is sticking to the classic /21 allocations,
but four BIG requests have been made, been granted a /22, and ICANN is
trying to reserve room for growth".
