I'm generally positive to this proposal, but the impact analysis made
me realise that it only applies to *initial* allocations. That causes
the new allocation criteria to only benefit any late adopters who do
not currently hold an IPv6 allocation. They will get an unfair
advantage that the early adopters who are currently holding a
[presumably too small] allocation, as the early adopters cannot
re-apply for a appropriately sized block under the new allocation
criteria.

I'll note that both authors' LIRs (uk.mod and de.kaufland) already hold
an IPv6 /29 allocation each...so assuming the proposal was intended to
help scratch an itch of their own, so to speak, perhaps this is
simply an omission?
