Whats the problem with CK31459-RIPE. It's only a handle. Ripe is
not in the bussiness of assigning vanity license plates, handles 
or ip addresses. They run a database. 

I would prefer a clean policy  on not reusing handles ever to a 
compilicated and error prone recycling policy.

Remeber that detecting if a handle is still used seomwhere uis getting
more complicated every day with the multiple distributed registries 
worldwide.

Reusing handles is asking for trouble.
