Since there're happy-eyeball RFC implementations, it's somewhat harder
to perform such measurments. But I think IPv6 adoption was boosted in
regions, where IPv4 pool dried.

Yes, I understand this purpose and to be clear - I'm not against this
proposal (that means, I support it). /24 allocations for newcomers are
also used within ARIN region (since 2015 depletetion), so this cannot be
any problem with such limitation within our (RIPE) region.
