We're in the RIPE region, so we cannot do policy-making for the other
regions (there are global policies, but since this would affect
address distribution by the RIPE NCC, it's not a global policy).
So, in the RIPE service region, which countries would qualify as
"less developed countries"? By which metric?

Since there are not many /24s available, and the waiting list is long,
it's hard to see how this would make a tangible benefit for the not
very clearly specified beneficiaries.

How can "you can have more IPv4 space" encourage IPv6 deployment?

have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
