On one side, RIPE advocates "we don't care about routing" (IPv4 PI
prefix size, see stalled proposal 2006-05 to fix that), on the other
side RIPE requests routing policy (multihoming for IPv6 PI). This
is arguing with split tongue. You can't have it both ways.

IP address space is not only for use on "the Internet". It's also for
private networks or hybrid networks (extranets etc.). Requiring
"Internet" multihoming is an artificial limitation not really justified
when claiming the role of sole owner of IP addresses in a region.

So yes, get rid of the multihoming requirement.
