it doesnt but the PI requlations do specify that the -use- has to remain
in accordance with the orignal reasons for which it was requested.

which basically boils down to: ripe can only remove such allocations if
they are no longer in use for their original purpose, they cannot try to
fork money out of existing PI/AS users, or their LIRs, so yes, as long as
the original request criteria are met, they are -forever-

(before we registered our first PI block I even called and asked them if
PROVIDER INDEPENDANT space would not cause recurring fees for us, and they
said no. (besides the showing up in the billing score for a short time,
which ofcourse is calculated into our  one-time administration fee.)
