Right, as per the announcements [1][2] as well, we're officially in
final /8 land now, and IPRAs ran the "available pool" down to the
ground. 

So, somewhere between 35-60M EUR locked up for the RIPE NCC now, from
one-shot-LIRs, with current policy. Does the RIPE NCC need all this
money or will that complicate things, especially w.r.t IPv4 as an asset
issues?  Or does it matter what we do?

IPv4 just became an asset in this land regardless. :-)

Best,
Martin
