Acting, amongst other tasks on the LIR side of the table, as a consultant
to/representative of an organization holding & actively using several PI
assignments from AU space I can fully second that.
We can happily live with the fees. But not being able to "act fully
autonomously" with regard to those netblocks is considered quite annoying and
has even hindered some network redesign efforts in the past ("how can we be
sure $NETBLOCK will still be routed properly once we touch sth?" etc.). So
leaving that uncertainty behind us and having a clear contractual relationship
with RIPE NCC would be very welcome, from this specific common's perspective.
Me seems a cleaned up RIPE DB is a good thing, too.
best
