Well, RIPE-399 came out of us wanting to document what had been our long
term "good practices" for the benefit of newcomers to the industry.

Hindsight is easy - but IPv6 recommendations are more challenging. If we
pick a number, as suggested in the current iteration of the draft, we
might well regret it in the future. Which is why perhaps a message
saying "aggregate wherever possible" might be all we can do now. (I've
already had questions similar to 'how do I do traffic engineering with
my /56'.)
