First of all thanks for the proposed solution. I would like to comment
both issues:

1. A solution to the subnet issue

I perceive this proposed solution as a way of making a lot of mess
whenever some customer marked with additional abuse-c leaves LIR.

2. A solution to the End User issue

I like this idea. However I'm not sure why at the third screen there is
RIPE-NCC-MNT mentioned, contrary to the LIR-MNT put on the fourth
screen.
