Having sent in a set number of well-formed assignment requests sounds
a lot more logical as condition for getting the AW raised than
"having been an lir for 6 months" does.
This ensures that small LIRs really get enough contact and - on the
other hand - that big lirs will get their AW increased after only a
short time.
And all new LIRs have the same contact experiences with RIPE NCC when
they get their AW raised - which is what we are aiming for, I'd guess.
