One of expected RIPE NCC tasks is analysing proper use of allocated
resources by each LIR. Mainly, this happens when LIR asks for new
resources - but also in other case like LIR audits. And analysis of /16
block is more exacting than /17 analysis.

Mentioned audits aren't classic LIR support - members usually doesn't
ask for their audits and of course, these audit costs some money :-)

With regards,
