Please do not assume that LIR activities are single handed everywhere.
Several LIRs do have an automation (i.e. netbox) to update the RIPE DB.
Others might have multiple independent people working with RIPE on
their own behalf. So notifications, especially the notify: attribute
are currently in use.

How about using the notify: attribute for notifications?
