Less than one /8 IPv4 prefix available in RIPE NCC

It seems that the information about the last IPv4 /8 being assigned by IANA caused a significant increase in allocations especially in the RIPE NCC registry (chart below). My trend line no longer reflects the real doom date since it seems to be much closer than previously predicted (July 2011).
 The situation in the RIPE NCC registry seems to be critical at the moment - there is less than one /8 IPv4 prefix available for allocations (presisely 0.7). The charts below present - the percentage and comparison of the currently allocated to the overall number of prefixes managed by a registry, assignments by the IANA to a specific registry and last but not least the current allocations within registries (still about 24 prefixes managed by the registries are not assigned).
