Personally I don't like the following phrase:

'In case the routing policies would no longer be unique and/or the  
networks have effectively merged, the additional /32 allocations must  
be returned to the RIPE NCC'

IMHO this should be extended to at least give a decent timeframe to  
renumber and possibly should differentiate between LIR's which have  
requested additional blocks for routing and/or administrative purposes  
and those who ended up with multiple allocations because they merged  
with some other LIR.

And as an open question, what would happen if I would merge 2  
autonomous systems in 1 LIR (If I understand correctly this is after  
all what is being proposed) both are operating a /32 which is over 50%  
usage ?

	a) grow one of the 2 allocations to /31 and renumber the other
	b) keep the 2 /32's on expense of 1 extra route in the DFZ but save  
yourself the renumbering task

and secondly doesn't this open up the path to /32 per AS instead to / 
32 per LIR ?

Groet,
