To quote the original proposal:

==
The objects addressed by this proposal (inetnum:, inet6num:, person:,
role:, mntner:) would be extended by the addition to their templates
of a new attribute definition, as follows.
                                                                                
    abuse-mailbox: [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]
                                                                                
The value of the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute must be a valid and active
RFC-2822 address.
==

Where does this gives the need to update each and every object in the
database ?

Next to that, 10% of the inetnum objects contain the less maintainable
remarks workaround.
