Dear colleagues,
There are approximately 2,950 16-bit ASNs left in our pool, including
the returned ASNs that are still referenced in other database objects.
At the current rate of assignment, thepool of 16-bit ASNs will last 36
months.
Within a few weeks, the RIPE NCC will start reassigning the referenced ASNs:

Hi Peter,
Thinking out loud: We could also apply the "last /8 policy" to this.
After it goes into effect, each LIR can request one and only one 16b ASN.
32b ASNs are allocated as normal (with the question asked, but not
evalutated).
I think that we are already beyond the point of handing out 1* 16b ASn to each
LIR and there isn't that much left in the free pool I'm guessing .. ( that is
my gut feeling .. )
But the NCC should be able to answer the total number in the RIPE pool ...
