It's not exactly new. Like I've mentioned earlier in this thread, the RIPE NCC has granted assignments smaller than /24 to requestors since, well, "forever". There are currently 238 such assignments listed in delegated-ripencc-extended-latest.txt. However, these microscopic assignments have proven hugely unpopular, amounting for only a fraction of a percent of the total (there are 27733 assignments equal to or larger than /24 in the same file).
If I remember correctly, while some (most?) people were disappointed by the lack of a minimum size for PI assignments, others valued the ability to register addresses for interfaces that needed to be unique but did not require global connectivity. Regards, Leo
