hand "org:" is optional at the moment and not everybody had set up an "org:". So after a forced deleting of "netname:" it is possible that you don't have an information in the WHOIS to which customer the subnet belongs to.
AIUI, this affects only allocation and independent resource assignment objects. An object of this type without an "org:" field should not exist (Tim, correct me if I'm wrong). For customer assignments, the "netname:" is filled in by the LIR and it's a freeform string so not a mandatory format.
can consider if they want to delete "netname:" themselves or perhaps through RIPE. Don't know if it's possible to set up an option in the LIR portal and the LIR can set a flag until DD-MM-YYYY if RIPE shall clean-up their netname attributes.
That's nearly the worst option, it would lead to an inconsistent format for these objects, some with "netname:", some without... rgds, Sascha Luck
