Just because you add a sanity check to a situation doesn't mean that it has
to be a terrible one.

Sure, IPv6 is the end goal, but even a completely dual-stacked ISP needs
more ipv4 as their customers continue to visit ipv4-only websites.

How far can a RIR go to prove a justification? Probably just as far as
another organisation is willing to Justify that they need the IP addresses.
I know that if my clients needed me to go through a justification process
so that I can keep selling services to them, I'd do it - even if it was a
tedious one.

Stat decs are not going to be relevant in this case, it's not a legal case.
