+1. We can argue it but operators like Google already require it otherwise your IPs might be reassigned to another country. See: https://www.iucc.ac.il/en/blog/2021-05-google-geo-location/ for when Google placed all Israeli academic IPs inside Iceland. For Google, RFC8805 is bible and if you don't have a configured CSV for them to parse you might find your IPs being reassigned to some other country (as documented in numerous NANOG postings over the past 2 years). -Hank
