IPv6 space is so much bigger than the theoretical maximum routing table size (even at /32's) that there's no reason to allocate from pools intended never to be "routable"; the right RIR goalset is still simply "uniqueness" and perhaps "aggregatable", and questions of "routability" should be answered in the field day by day as conditions warrant.
