thanks for the correction. I was under the impression that you had 
remarked PI to PA conversions. I've only now checked the history of the 
blocks you have mentioned and these have always been ALLOCATED PA (with 
an allocation size lower than the minimum).

I understand and agree with you. However, let's not forget that the RIPE 
NCC has made in the past PI assignments of even a /29.

I see. I was under a different impression, that the community was 
waiting for a policy proposal from Erik which would enable PI transfers.

Erik, are you working on a proposal that would (also) enable status 
changes? Do you need help with it?
