[anti-abuse-wg] abuse-c mandatory

As everybody knows, the proposal "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE NCC Database"
has already been ratified/accepted more than a month ago, but still some RIPE workers
seem not to know this fact:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2011-06
  Authors: Tobias Knecht, abusix
  Proposal Version: 3.0 06 June 2012
  Accepted: 17 September 2012
  Working Group: Anti-Abuse Working Group
  Proposal type: New
  Policy term: Indefinite
  New RIPE Document: ripe-563

Under §1.0 it says
"The "abuse-c:" will be mandatory for all aut-nums.
Due the hierarchical nature of IP address objects, at least every direct allocated
inetnum and inet6num needs to have an "abuse-c:". Inherited objects might have their
own "abuse-c:" attribute or they will be covered by the higher level objects.
"

Today I got the following reply from RIPE (I removed the name of the sender with XXX,
but can give it if required). Why is this person at RIPE still saying this:
  "At this moment is the 'abuse-c' not yet a mandatory field.
  There is currently a discussion on our mailing list in order to make this a
  mandatory field, but this policy proposal is still under discussion."

???
An official from RIPE please explain to the community what this RIPE person
means with such a statement...:

Thank you for your e-mail.

At this moment is the 'abuse-c' not yet a mandatory field. There is

mandatory field, but this policy proposal is still under discussion.
