Personally, I find any of the three acceptable. I have a preference that
"assignments longer than /56 not require SWIP", and "assignments /48 or
shorter require SWIP".

While minimally acceptable, I would prefer to not create an incentive for
providers to make assignments as long as /60. I would prefer providers to
make assignments no longer than /56, therefore I believe assignments of /56
and longer should not require SWIP. Since assignments /48 and shorter could
find their way into the DFZ, therefore I believe they should require SWIP
for operational reasons.

In between /56 and /48 I'm mostly agnostic.  But, I suppose we could go
with "/52 or shorter" that way there isn't any confusion, that /56 does not
require SWIP and /48 does require SWIP.

Hope that helps.
