IPv4 market should be illegal. How someone can sell IPv4 address space, if RIPE is allocating address space based on their needs??? If they sell addresses, RIPE allocated to them more than they need.
The allocation policies always included room for growth - and in some cases, growth did not happen as planned, or the customer structure changed, resulting in some unused allocations. The IPv4 policy never had terms for reclaiming unused allocations - and that was pointed out clearly at the address policy working group meeting two years ago. There was no mandate from the community either to change that. There are a lot of "it should be..." or "it would be nice if...", but there's also a lot of reality out there.
