At this point, does it really matter? The practical issues of 
disaggregation have more to do with ASN routing policies/practices than 
allocations. While I agree that the RIR shouldn't compound the problem, 
in the later stages of IPv4, I think it's unavoidable and will have 
marginal effect. Obviously, retaining minimums of allocation size still 
matters, but routing policies themselves generally assist in protecting 
that boundary.
