I was not aware about that.

However, RIR policy is typically separate from operator policy.

I'm not sure whether operators are going to be accepting IPv4 routes
longer than a /24. It was spoken about for a long time, as we all knew
this day would come. But considering how expensive line cards are, I'm
not overly optimistic it will happen (or happen quickly, widely).
