It's simple, operators out of at least 2 of the 5 RIR regions are saying they need this.  I would bet that operators in all RIR regions would use this if available (heads pulled in after the bruising battle this has been in the past).  As it is "global" it does not seem fair to ask one RIR to sacrifice for the rest.  If you are not talking RIR, then transfer policies make that pretty much a one-way street for the donor.
