If there would be only v6, I'd agree, but given that v4 refuses to die,
IPv6 is a far lesser incentive to become an LIR compared to the /22
shot of IPv4. I don't expect the number of LIRs in the RIPE area to
come down for the next few years. When the past-last-/8 pool has
finally dried up, plus 2 years (holding time), well, yes, maybe.

I certainly feels that way.
