I understund this idea. I think it will be great to write that rule ( ... 24 months of receiving... ) work only for permanent transfers. Whyle formaly for now it is for any transfers.

Hi,
 
Lets check RIPE-530:

For temporary transfer we make 2 transfers: 1. from LIR A to LIR B. .... 2. Form LIR B to LIR A (back). While address space may not transfer it on within 24 months, so we can't transfer back earlier than in 2 years. 

Ah, there is the misunderstanding. Giving back the address space is not a separate transfer. It's part of the original (temporary) transfer. This rule is only to prevent people from selling addresses on.
