First of all - I'm dealing with RIPE and addresses about 20 years, and 
never heard, that PA from closed LIR going to be deregistered could be 
converted to PI.

Years ago, when RIPE asked about PI to PA conversion, they promised, 
that in case of LIR closure, the member could preserve the PI. But... 
seems that is smallprint - you can keep the PI except you are self 
sponsor for the resource. The conclusion is: never convert the PI to PA 
and never move AS and PI to your own LIR, keep the sponsorship with 
third party.
