The "bad guys" could just add assignments and the plan is verified.

The fundamental question is, why would "bad guys" want to stockpile
IPv6 in any way that would hurt us as a community? What would be the
ROI for them?

I see this as a non-problem.

problem arising.

Well as long as filtering and RPKI is not perfect this can be done
with a lot of other address space without leaving your contact data
with the RIPE NCC.
