I fully agree. That's the spirit of the Internet. Things do not work
automagically. People that think that way are strongly necessary.

It's likely that last resort registries (places where to apply for unique
non-provider addresses) will disappear. But I think that some guidance
and coordination should stay. And the RIPE-NCC alone will probably be
not sufficient for this task in the fast growing European Internet.
