there is a significant difference between the position that the rirs
should be bookkeepers and not regulators, and the statement that there
should be no regulation.
and arin is this year's extreme example of why the rirs should not be

Amusingly, I actually spoke against the last /8 policy for many of the
reasons now being discussed. However, the community came to consensus
and put the policy on the books.
If there's community consensus to repeal the policy, then I accept there is
no need to attempt to enforce it.
If there's no community consensus to repeal the policy, then I feel that
we have an obligation to try and make it work.
