In practice, the RIRs are implementing sparse allocation which makes it possible to aggregate subsequent allocations. I.e. not as bad as it may seem.
Except, if you are given bare minimums, and you are assigning out to subtending ISPs bare minimums, those subtending ISPs will end up with multiple networks. Some of them are BGP speakers. I can't use sparse allocation because I was given minimum space and not the HD-Ratio threshold space.
Wait... If you are issuing space to ISPs that are multihomed, they should be getting their own addresses. Even if they aren't multihomed, they should probably be getting their own addresses. Why would you be supplying them with address space if they are an ISP?

to my knowledge, RIPE still does not issue ipv6 PI space. so giving them their own space, is "problematic" to say the least. -- Greetings, Sven Olaf Kamphuis, CB3ROB Ltd. & Co.
