out of interest, how would a CS that charges members according to the amount of resources affect a return of excess reserves, were that to happen again?

In no way is it ever that. When charges were not flat small ones never paid more than large and large ones have likely been members a long time so large have invested more in RIPE than small. If it's even then it's likely a redistribution from large to small, more so for the scammers joining for free with a legacy /29 they rented for a month brandon
