The importance of enforcing name-based hosting is high, but I also get the feeling the amount of wasted address space elsewhere on the Internet (/16s allocated to big institutions years ago that are firewalled other than a handful of /24s?) should be a higher priority - not saying that RIPE did these allocations of course!
The past sins of others is no excuse to continue sinning. Besides, there was a time before "classless" technology became widespread or even available, and there actually existed prior IP address allocation policies from the registries (or back to when there only was a single registry) which were substantially different from the ones we have in use today.
