	They are horribly bad at this, and they don't seem to care -- 
there are a number of network blocks that have been assigned to 
Skynet (my former employer) but for which RIPE *still* hasn't done 
the necessary in-addr.arpa delegation, even though the company has 
been sending them weekly requests on the subject for well over two 
years.

	IMO, they are just plain incompetent.  I suggest you show up at a 
future RIPE conference and harass them about this problem.


	There doesn't seem to be a lot that anyone can do about it, short 
of showing up at a conference and personally hassling the management 
of RIPE.
