Any RIR - or LIR - that considers allocating space in sizes smaller than a /24 (for the purpose of announcing to the DFZ) would do well to read this report from RIPE Labs:

tl;dr: it's still a bad idea to allocate smaller than a /24.
RIPE has long allocated up to /29. Not everybody needs addresses for the Internet; some just need a guarantee of global uniqueness. -- Niels.
