There aren't enough addresses in v4. Reclaiming one or two /8s here or there won't fix that. Before IANA runout in 2011, we were going through over one /8 per month, and demand has only gone up since then. Those class Bs you're so worried about would last the internet maybe 2 hours each.
You can push as many allocations around as you like, but there just plain and simply isn't enough v4.
