IETF can do nothing unless ISPs of RIPE and other RIRs accept the restriction that only very large ISPs can have their own global routing table entries and address spaces of other ISPs must be delegated from those of the very large ISPs.
You don't make sense. We're not talking about ISPs here, we're talking about end users.
Considering that end users won't not directly suffer from nor complain about routing table explosions, but some clever ISPs may, we should be talking about ISPs, a collection of which is RIPE. Yes, ISPs through RIRs are the source of problems.
And the IETF can define standards for that.
The distance between IETF and end users is, mostly, infinite. Masataka Ohta
