2013-03 would not be changing that particular game.  

If someone wants to open extra LIRs to get extra /22s, they can do that 
today, and they can do that if 2013-03 is implemented.

Needs justification for the /22 is already so minimal ("I need a single
IPv4 address") that I can't really see how 2013-03 would make a big
for these cases.

If you're concerned about people gaming the system by opening extra LIRs
and getting extra /22s that they should not have, opposing 2013-03 is not
the right approach - we'd need a modification of the actual last /8 policy
to qualify under which rules "new LIRs" might *not* be eligible to get a
/22 - and I think *this* would cause much more grave problems with
competition laws.
