That ones easy, it should never have been used for this info RIPE is the rIPe
repository not the domains authority. The only domains that are in there are
the reverse domains for very good reasons. The RIPE DB was seen as an easy
route to a publicly accessable system with minimum effort, the fact these
domains are now going away will take the strain off a system which was never
designed to for this use and so give the RIPE community back the level of
response from the servers/systems the community funded and frankly deserve.
