It does mean that the RIPE NCC can make changes to the LIR merger
procedure to fix this abuse without having to go through the PDP...

Alternatively, members could petition the RIPE NCC board to raise the New
LIR sign-up fee to 10 or 15 times the current level. That should stop this
in its tracks as well and would still not be a huge barrier to new
entrants.
