A /24 every 6 months (provided that conditions keep being fulfilled).
Because less than /24 is pretty much useless.

Some people tell me that "last /8" in RIPE-land is supposed to serve the
same purpose, even if it's not written.
Plus, you *CAN* get more than 4 x /24 in ARIN-land (to date 2 x /24, but
the allocation rate is really low).

It's not the violation of ARIN rules, it's the fact that ARIN is *NOT*
v4-exhausted. They still have available space, even if they call it
otherwise.
And it's used (or at least supposed) to reward people with real IPv6
deployment.
