Please definie the meaning of "OK" in this context.

So, if I am understanding you correctly, if, say, a given LIR obtained,
say, a /17 two years ago, and then just sat on it, and never put a
single thing in it in all that time, there is nothing that can or will
be done about that colossal waste of (supposedly) precious IPv4 space.
Is that correct?  Have I understood you correctly?

And likewise, if said hypothetical LIR obtained the same hypothetical /17
two years ago, and since that time has allocated it to a "customer" who
then proceeded to fill it only with a single physical machine and on
the order of 32,000 utterly phony baloney domain names, either for the
purpose of snowshoe spamming or for the purpose of so-called "blackhat
SEO", then there is nothing that anybody within RIPE, or within RIPE NCC,
or anywhere in all the world either may or will do about that.  Is that
a correct interpretation of what you have said?

(Please understand that I'm not trying to be rude to anybody.  I'm just
trying to understand the current policy.)
