RIPE is always speaking with the LIR, in accordance to 2007-01 policy.
All new PI users are always connected with some LIR. If you want obtain
PI directly from RIPE, you'll pay additional money for the contract with
RIPE, it's documented on the website.

And generally, I don't prefer crapping PA space with such deaggregation
caused just by the PI-blocking policy. If someone has good technical
reason for provider-independent address usage, I don't see reason not to
assign it from defined (dedicated-for-PI) range. Current typical IPv4 PI
user has some reason for that and I'm not here for judging it. I trust
RIPE employees in verification of request validity.

I rather prefer controlled PI assignments by RIPE instead of some kind
of LIR creativity here. There's known demand for for PI on the market.
