RIPE in final /8 of IPv4

Hi list, in the interest of really running down also the final /8 of RIPE, which was entered today, let me point out that the cost to setup a new LIR is a meager application + application fee (2000 EUR) + ~1500 EUR or so for the first year. You can obviously transfer the resource as long as the requirement for the minimum allocation remains the same (which is a couple of web servers or so :) ), and then discontinue the LIR if you feel so inclined. This stands in contrast with the cost of fixing your documentation to justify 80% used space of the current allocations. Also, each LIR can just get 1 /22 from the final /8 pool. So if you're getting space for customers, the new-LIR approach with option to transfer back in is pretty reasonable. Happy Friday!
