I hear you, but that argument can be twisted around into "why are you
not permitting access to new market entrants to your IXP? don't tell
me stories about 'no IPv4 addresses for the fabric', you had enough
time to prepare"...

So, if there are no more v4 addresses in the RIPE NCC IXP pool, some
unpleasantness will ensue, no matter what.

(But I do agree that "testing and education" can be done nicely outside
the policy)
