The NCC is not the root of the address distribution tree.  IANA is.

So pointing people from all over the world to the RIPE NCC "because IANA
can't get their part right" is conceptually the wrong approach.

In practice, it might provide a fast and convenient approach today, but
why can't IANA just do that?  Mirror the RIR stats files, point people
asking *at the root of the tree* to the right branch.
