  With respect, I have to disagree with this characterization of the 
situation.

  Holders of legacy resources have not been _granted_ any exemption 
from
  RIPE policies.   They simply _are_ exempt from these policies, 
because
  they hold resources which are unconstrained by any agreement of the 
kind
  which the RIPE NCC rightly requires for resources which it has 
allocated
  or assigned.

  A proposal, such as this one, which depends on authority or power 
which
  the RIPE NCC has never had, is moot.
