This would free quite a bit of IPv4 resources at the same time, so all
for it!

Seriously: while your suggestion brought a slightly weary smile to my
face, and I certainly miss the old days where people knew what RIPE or
BGP is, we'll have to deal with an amazing amount of lack of education.

So indeed, maybe more frequent push infos from the RIPE NCC on what this
list is about, why people are on it (and how to get off it) might be
the right way forward.

I don't think forums are the way to go...
