i support the suggestion to make it optional.

Discontinuation makes no sense - i don't really think this service 
causes a high workload or costs too much money.
Making it mandatory for ALL allocations(?) would eventually cause 
operational problems for the LIR/customer in some cases, not really 
worth the effort.

==> Make it optional for all delegations, IPv4&IPv6 as suggested if you 
feel any needs to change the current situation (which i don't actually 
consider bad either). As a service, i would like to use RIPE as 2ndary 
in some cases.
