I think you have answered your own question there. As customers are migrated to DOCSIS3 from 1/2, the contention on the channel(s) used for DOCSIS 1/2 is reduced.
I guess that eventually there are so few DOCSIS 1/2 customers on a segment that VM disconnect the channel. The customers ring in to say their BB is not working and VM say that their modem is broken an they will need a replacement (SH). The channel can then be re-allocated for DOCSIS 3.
