Yes.

Heirarchical aggregation is more a secondary goal.  Routability is very
important.  Using current technology, aggregation is vital to achieving
this, but I can foresee changes that would make aggregation less important
or even irrelevant. 

But routability should remain an essential principle.

(RFC1918 was and is necessary for IPv4, but really is a bandaid.)

I would define Stewardship as the balancing of competing and often
conflicting aims to acheive the maximum benefit for the community overall.
So, yes.
