I read the "impact" as +ve. Do you have a different calibration?
+ve? sorry, not shared mathematical notation.

If the RIRs manage to drive home the idea that you only have "legal" right to address space if you've got an ongoing relationship with an RIR, and that we (for some sense of "we") don't have to care about those with address space the RIRs have no idea who "owns", the idea of trusting the RIRs and only the RIRs to say "what address block belongs to which user" is more viable. If huge chunks of "important" address space aren't in the RIRs' lists of "authorized owners", one has to trust more sources of such info.
