Agree. You and some others like "a true independence resource",
others really don't care as long as it works, some don't like to
pay money as long is not needed, some don't like to pick up the
work, some probably don't like changes, some others probably don't
like the outcome and what it does mean and others ...

This is why we are talking about it. While you are open to swap
your PIs out of our A-U, others would never consider renumbering
as an option.

Different interests, different approaches ...

Either PI holders have rights or they don't. In your other email
you stated

Why wouldn't this be valid for Far East hedge funds?

This should be discussed with RIPE NCC (again) as source of this
"lock out" rule ... rule vs. rule ... but eventually not needed
as the final approach should cover this.
