And that means optional as in opt-in, not opt-out.

Yup.

Additionally, in the cases where all contact objects are personal with
contact information hidden, there needs to be an abuse object that can be
used. The quality of actually usable abuse contact information is
regrettably low across RIR databases, contact information quality is not a
RIPE specific problem.

This either means that the LIR needs to be the abuse contact, or there
needs to be a delegated abuse contact.

I'm nagging about this, because the Internet is full of abuse, and in the
absence of functional abuse contact points, IP address ranges get
blacklisted or blackholed without any notification reaching the network
owner.
