My understanding of the current status: values is to document contractual
relationships regarding a particular database object - did the NCC assign
this? Is this a hierarchical LIR structure? Is this some legacy space
that is under a particular contract framework with the RIPE NCC? Who
is the authority on what can or can not be done with a given bunch of
numbers?
I do like this interpretation of status: and want to keep it.
Thus, simplification of status: values would either take away documentation
(bad) or would need a simplification of contractual variants (not covered
by this proposal, because not APWG merits).
We might consider changing the contract structure (like, doing away
with indirect contracts through a sponsoring LIR) - which is NCC services
or AGM - but discussion about the consequences for status: needs to come
afterwards, not before that.
Short form: do not try to press complex reality into simple database formats,
because that does not yield useful results, even if tempting. Oppose.
