Jeroen,

there have been some ppl here receiving an AS number for
IPv6 multi- homing (ouch, man!) which can still be done
without being a RIPE LIR. Those ppl will surely not get a
/32 from RIPE for free, therefore they need to pay the
money. Although honestly I do not know what we will lose if
this happened, if anything at all.

This is correct. I believe that as soon as we do standard
filtering on 6bone space we get ugly AS paths with all
tunnels under it with terrible round- trip- times. I see
more and more ppl saying 'ah, we need to migrate it to these
RIPE addresses' and some are even getting the point that self-
made tunnels are pointless if someone two hops down the road
has its backbone in Europe and the US on IPv6 completely...

I could not have put it into words better than this.
