Hi, Enforcement was never the point of registering assignments, and shouldn’t be seen as the driver. Assignments are registered because the data is needed and used for a variety of reasons such as uniqueness, reaching specific network operators, etc. It’s also the only public record of who operates PA space when it isn’t the holding LIR. Needs-based justification may not be in play today but the other reasons certainly are.

Hi,
not really because in practice virtually no enforcement takes place, no needs-based justification anymore except for IXP, no new IPv4 PI from the RIPE NCC.
Thanks
