Right now, the only thing you need to do to get a /22 out of that /8 is to 
do a little administration and pay money to RIPE.

I don't understand why you think that having RIPE require pre-depletion 
style paperwork when this just doesn't reflect reality anymore is going to 
help anything.

Individual LIRs just cannot hurt the global resource depletion rate by 
waste anymore, at least not in the RIPE region. Let's cut down on 
paperwork for everybody by accepting this policy.
