I agree if the resulting address blocks can not be announced as a single aggregate. I was, however, under the impression that when a RIR makes an IPv6 allocation to a LIR, it leaves "room to grow" in the address space, so that some of the subsequent allocations can still be announced with a single routing announcement. This is different to the practices used in the IPv4 space, partly, I guess, because there is room to use that practice. Did this change and/or am I mis-remembering? Regards, - Håvard
