 From the RIPE 48 minutes provided by Nick Hyrka:

>DATABASE WORKING GROUP
>
>- It was agreed that the 'country:' attribute should be either removed or
>be optional.

I was not at the meeting but reading over the PDF:

I believe the consensus in db-wg was to add a ZZ code and *not* to drop the 
country attribute totally.  Israel uses the country attribute to filter ISP 
prefixes at its IIX:

When was it agreed to have it removed?
