That depends on how long your soft landing policy remains soft.
Still, if you really believe that your carve out will last many years you
are arguing moot points since you would never need to receive any of this
address space.
If the transfer section were removed and the proposal did every theoretical
allocation N/5 and reserved 1/5 for each ineligible RIR until they exhausted
or some reasonable period of time went by (take or pay), would that remove
your objections?
