A *LIR* usually doesn't (purposely) change back and forward from 
"operating a non-public network" and "being connected to the Internet".

End-user networks do, but the policy isn't about end-users anyway - what
end-users do depends on their contractual relation to the LIR of their
choice and trust.  If they have no LIR available, and are not connected
to the Internet, they can use non-publically-routed-global-unique IPv6 
space (IIRC it was Geoff Houston's draft).

> Excluding them will mean that if a network is disconnected, so no advertised, even by accident, they could miss the right for that allocation ?

Nobody will take an allocation away just because your core-router died.

OTOH, if someone receives an allocation and it's not visible after two
years (or any other reasonable time), one might start asking questions.
