If they are willing to undergo the necessary paperwork, and pay the yearly fees, yes. (Which is only different from today insofar as "today the enterprise has to lie to RIPE [or be quite creative in their definition of 'customer'] to get the /32" - look at current allocations where people are wondering how the critera could have been fulfilled) > Doesn't look like a good idea at all.

I'm wondering what your alternative proposal is, as you don't like the 200-customer rule either. If you're worried about a landslide: let's put an (arbitrary) safety margin in there "only 5000 prefixes are handed out, then we stop and re-evaluate policy".
