Because they're linked. The requirement of justifying and documenting is a lever
for us today, to get serious cooperation from our clients in ordre to get their needs
correctly evaluated, and /24s (or more) not being wasted in careless (and preventive)
over-subscriptions of adresses.

This helps us preventing a rush to our allocation depletion and thus, from requesting
the last /22. And thereafter, to create a new LIR to satisfy these needs we would
let run.

Am I wrong if I suspect commercial teams would happily distribute large bunches of
undocumented adresses to their asking customers if the Ripe allowed it. As far as I
can see, commercials do appreciate to be able to satisfy their customers requests.
