In theory, yes. But the policy currently contradicts itself to an
extent.

Section 3.8 of ripe-641 clearly states: "In IPv6 address policy,
the goal of aggregation is considered to be the most important."
ss3.4 and 3.5 bear that out also.

Yet, s5.1.2 seems to exclude aggregation as a valid reason for an
allocation. The Proposal merely attempts to remove this
contradiction.
