First, I'd like to say that I support the proposal.

I like the soft policy.

I think that if there are signs that someone starts hoarding, RIPE NCC
would notify the community about the issue and request that we consider a
policy for that, or perhaps someone outside the NCC would notice and create
their own policy proposal.

Until then, it is unnecessary to do anything in particular about it, except
think about it and be prepared for this eventuality.
