Without acknowledging your interpretation of "distributing resources", I
would like to point out that when ARIN in a very short time no longer has
any of these resources to distribute, they will, _forever_, fail to do
their task, while RIPE still will carry out that task.

So if we accepted your premise that that is _The Task_, RIPE will be
performing the task better than ARIN, and not vice versa.
