Because this is address-policy (»The Address Policy Working Group
develops policies relating to the management and registration of
Internet number resources.«), not database (»The Database Working
Group deals […]«).

Europol has the means to challenge the maintainer of the address
space for more information on individual usage; there is no real
thread to Europol's operation by the change, it might just become
less convenient to get the wanted information.

> proceed with all haste to

No haste visible at all; this is about 2023-04 — we already are in
2024-04.
