In favour of *what* to replace it? RIR membership. No. It is proven not to scale.
"Proven"? When, where, by whom, based on what data? There are less than 10.000 LIRs in existance today, all RIRs combined. So that would be a maximum of 10.000 routing table entries (if we can manage to keep it at "1 prefix per LIR").
Does it mean that it is beneficial for you if RIRs have more power even though it sacrifices ISPs and users of the Internet by requiring routers with a lot more routing table entries than necessary?
10.000 routing table entries is something far below the near 140.000 we have today in IPv4. While I'm seriously unhappy with the 140.000 IPv4 routes, it *does* scale up to fairly insane numbers.
