My understanding from this proposal is that it just change the allocation
size but an org is still able to have/open multi LIRs,

If this proposal reach consensus, someone still can open four LIRs and get
the same amount of IP address as now. The difference (from technical point
of view) is that we may have less entry in routing tables with an /22
allocation but with this proposal we will have for sure 4x /24 entry
without gaining that much.
