Mostly because we wanted IPv6 to work for our allocation before our
provider was ready for full IPv6 deployment. 

We asked RIPE and IPv6 PI cannot be used for ISP purposes (one end user
only) so the only option other than PA is becoming LIR: both were
proposed as solutions by RIPE, we went PA.

For our kind of use (small AS) becoming LIR will waste address space
since current policy is /22 IPv4 and /32 IPv6 (more an issue
for IPv4 though). 

As noted in RIPE documents there's always a conflict between waste of
address space and number of routes announced: in the end if RIPE-532
"/48" is discarded we'll have to go the waste route.

Sincerely,

Laurent
