Fragmentation is here already and it's done even by resource holders
having allocations shorter than /22...

Some kind of unfairness is also here - some LIRs have only single /22,
some LIRs have multiple /16. From this perspective it's nothing bad,
when new LIRs will have only /24...

As stated in original post "This proposal aims to reduce the IPv4
allocation size to a /24 once the RIPE NCC is unable to allocate
contiguous /22 ranges." - that meas, when new allocations will cause
fragmentation anyway.
