I only know of one such case and this provider has since changed their
mind (regid eu.sprint).

We start with a RIPE document. The problem with an RFCs is that there are
many highly contentious issues associated with a successor to RFC1466.
This document is not going to be agreed quickly. However we need a
revision of ripe-104. So far we have been waiting. ripe-104 is now
sufficiently outdated to go ahead with a revision anyway. I just hope
that we can agree on one in Europe.
I would prefer it to go the other way round but there seems to
be little choice.

It is an informational RFC about a technology, not about address space
policies.
