Well, the most important reason was that we can't stop transfers from
occuring (people will find ways...) but that *if* a resource is transferred,
we must be able to document *where it went*.

Since the IPv4 run-out, the primary function of the RIPE NCC has shifted
from "hand out IPv4 addresses" to "registry", and this is more important
than ever.

(Of course one could frown on people making money on something they got
for free - yes.  But do we want to make money on something by selling
under the hand, for a higher price, and no guarantees to the buyer?)
