It is potentially enabling organizations with more money than need gain more resources, potentially at the expense of non-profit and educational organizations who might not be able to raise cash for additional IPv4 space [or equipment to support a transition to IPv6].
Organizations with "more money than need" have already locked up several /8s worth of address space through contracts with the holders, making it unavailable at any price to the organizations you're concerned about. Game over.
Either 1) we let them record those as actual transfers now so we see that in the database or, 2) we wait for them to record them as policy permits, and only those "in the know" are aware of the status of the blocks. There's no third option where people who don't have enough cash to pay the going market price are magically getting addresses due to the continuation of needs-based transfer policy.
