That is true. In assignment window for new LIR's would make some sense, just
to make sure that they don't do anything silly because of a
misunderstanding. There is a big chance that nobody in the organisation has
experience in running an LIR. They might even still be thinking in
classes... (in my experience a lot of people don't read documents until they
have to, so they might have ignored CIDR until now)  Letting them start (for
a short time) with an AW of /25 will probably make them aware :)

Just some thoughts..
