I would go futher than that and say that it was a colossal error in
judgement to have EVER allowed any of this nonsense.

I have a massive quantity of never before revealed evidence showing just
how prodigiously various crooks and spammers have abused this "feature".
I will share that, if there is anyone on these lists who is as yet
unconvinced of either the ability or willingness of various crooks and
spammers to drive the proverbial truck through this massive, gaping and
absurd security hole, mostly with respect to IPv4, but also, as has been
described by others, with respect to IPv6 as well.

It is well past time for RIPE to stop allowing any random, arbitrary, and
unidentified orangutan with a keyboard to determine what routes are placed
into the global routing table.
