I don't really care, I want that there should be a recurring cost involved 
with having a route in DFZ. If that money goes to RIPE, so be it.
I know people today that could renumber to another /24 from their existing 
/24 in a matter of a few hours, yet they still have a /24 PI for 
convenience. If the cost was 1000EUR per year (doesn't matter if it's 
LIR membership cost or something else) only people that actually value 
this highly will have it. It might be coupled to having a route object 
attached to the IP space in question that actually triggers the cost, so 
people who need PI but who are not going to announce them can have them 
for free.
I would happily advocate this for IPv4 as well but I think that train left 
the station long ago.
