It’s trivial in the ARIN region. Other regions are YMMV.

I would suggest trying to work through the RIPE PDWG to get that policy changed if you feel it is a hinderance to your 
deployment.

I do know that RIPE has this (rather silly IMHO) process for keeping PI end users at arms length, but as I understand 
it, it’s also not very hard to find an LIR that will charge you a fee to acquire the addresses and pass them along to 
you.

I think you’re right, but my understanding is that it is fairly trivial to comply with that requirement. I’ll be 
surprised if some LIRs don’t contact you as a result of this email.
