Assignments are between LIR and end user and at this moment RIPE doesn't care much about them, only, as you mentioned, that they are properly reflected in the registry.
If there were a policy already allowing RIPE to get back allocations, I think the situation would have been different (I can't stop thinking about my chinese "friend")
Maybe it is time to create such policy. It will not be easy but maybe we are able to come up with some rules that NCC can implement and get back some of the space that we all know it's just waiting for a better price.
I could point out that *this* would very much be "retroactively applying policy"... (And there would still never be sufficient IPv4, so I think that's why the community decided a few years ago to not bother going there - we've discussed this at RIPE meetings every now and then, and decided to better focus on making good IPv6 policies instead) Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
