Let's do this. The proposal will prevent a lot of what is going on
today especially with the M&A changes that the executive board did
come up with.

Everyone can see the allocation numbers in the RIPE Labs article. The
number of LIRs closed on member request in 2014 is as high as the
*whole* amount of LIRs closed in the years before. The amount of LIRs
closed in 2014 as a whole more than doubled from 2013. This abuse of
the last-/8 policy is only going to get worse and I think it will
accelerate in speed.

We can always extend the policy to close other loopholes later if they
come up. But right now I think we should stop this behaviour ASAP.

This counts as support.

Regards
Sebastian
