As I understand it, there has "always" been a requirement for need. I don't disagree that this is nothing new.

However, you used the phrase "verified operational need", which is something different.

I am a n00b in the RIPE community, so I have certainly not read everything there is, but from what I have seen, read and understand, this verification thing is new.
