I wasn't talking about my own PI blocks, I was talking about my
customer's. Which are used on networks I run for them.

In the end it's all integers anyway, and I'll happily operate those
integers for my customers regardless of labels and how they were
obtained, including (but not limited to):

- PA addresses issued by my own LIR
- PA addresses issued by another LIR
- PI addresses sponsored by my own LIR
- PI addresses sponsored by another LIR

(Same shit, different wrapping. My routers cannot tell the difference.)

In the case of PA blocks, the issuing LIR is always published in the
database and on the FTP. The issuing LIR might very well have absolutely
*nothing* to do with the End User's operational use of the addresses in
question, yet we publish it.

I don't see why PI addresses and their sponsoring LIRs should be treated
any different than PA addresses and their issuing LIR in this regard.
