RIPE doesn't make up the policies - the members make the policies.

RIPE didn't invent IP either, nor did they have a say in the design of
router architecture, nor in the pricing of RAM chips.

Multihoming which relies on long prefixes being carried in the default
free zone, and/or more AS numbers, simply doesn't scale.  That isn't a
policy matter, it's simple math.

Which policy do you think should be changed in order to "solve" the
multihoming problem?
