more to the point, the legacy policy resources document says that if
RIPE community policy is created or updated, it only applies to legacy
address space if the policy says so explicitly.
The consequence of this is that legacy address holders can easily veto
any future changes to legacy address policy that they don't like.
Some people think this is a great idea; other don't and feel this was a
mistake. Either way it's irrelevant because it's not really possible to
back out of this sort of policy arrangement.
The most sensible approach in the circumstances is leave it and move on.
