RIPE doesn't expect anyone to accept anything.  RIPE deals in addresses,
not in routing.

(Yes, this sounds a bit academic - but there is a point to it: what if
the operator community decides next year that /24s are evil, and only
/23s are to be accepted?  Does this mean that RIPE will have to upgrade
all existing PI blocks to /23s?)
