Jim, please stop kidding. Do you know anyone, who returned the addresses to RIPE? In my 25 year career in IT I have not met anyone who did.
I'm neither supporting nor opposing the proposed policy. However, I note that there are a number of cases where organizations with large blocks of IPv4 address space they no longer need have returned that space. Several /8s were returned to global pool of unallocated IPv4 address space in 2007 and 2008. More recently, Interop returned more than 99% of a /8 to ARIN:
