Well, yes. You don't have to request addresses to be interested in RIPE 
NCC services.
Maybe they are all called LIRs but it might be interesting to know how 
many members don't send any address requests to the NCC and therefore, 
maybe, are just interested in the availability of the public services.
As Daniel said, from the beginning the RIPE NCC has been more than an 
RIR, it has been a Network Co-ordination Centre, remember the maps of 
the Internet?
