This is  a no sense discussion.

Actually RIPE divides LIRs into categories based on resources allocated 
to each LIRs, so fee is based on resources.

It would be simple to keep actual calculation, WITHOUT any discount due 
to age of allocation.

Then, scale the new fees to match actual incoming.

For example, if new calculation takes to a raport of 12.5 between new 
calculation and actual RIPE budget, divide any fee by 12.5, so total 
income for RIPE will not change, but fee for each LIR would be more 
effective if compared to resource usage.
