You love to summon up dire legal consequences for the RIPE NCC if this
policy isn't coming into place.

Over here in Europe, we're not used to just sueing anyone for anything we
do not like and actually having chance in succeeding with it.  Unless
the RIPE NCC is actually *tasked* with "ensuring routing correctness"
(which it isn't) whether or not someone configures their router correctly
cannot construct a liability for the NCC.

Now, if the NCC neglects to secure their *registry*, and people can
use this neglect to attack others, this might be a valid case to bring
forward...
