It might happen that ISPs in an area could provide customers adequate IPv6
space but not IPv4 space. In such a situation it might be necessary to get a
block of IPv4 from the RIPE NCC but not be necessary to get a block of IPv6.

It seems unreasonable to require people to take resources they do not want
or need.
