I pointed out in the past that creation of an extra organization object
just to get an abuse-c: referenced is something I consider "too much
hassle".  It's a "database people think so" solution.

Having an optional abuse-c: in the more-specific inet(6)num: would
be a nice and low-effort solution.

Nice and shiny query tools are also missing the point.  Creation of a
needless object just to fulfill "abuse-c: may only be referenced from
an organization: object" designs is not being made less effort by nice
query tools.
