[members-discuss] Update on RIPE NCC Police order

Just asking:

Does it really make sense for them to "freeze" ressources in the RIPE DB (and if yes, why?)? - My Dutch is pretty bad, sadly.
After all it is not like that would stop a rouge ISP from announcing PI/PA space or their AS - even "gone" routing objects are not really to be cared about since most Tier1's build their filters for customers only once unless requested.

Sorry, but i just don't see the sense in it at all.
