Well, it won't. The proposal for filtering is to filter on assigment
boundary, and for swamp space filter on /24. Now, what will break is
people punching holes in their PA space for multihomed users. Funny
enough, this has never been discussed (to my knowledge) as a problem in
PTOMAIN WG of the IETF. There the argument was for traffic engineering and
commercial relationships...

That is not the suggestion. See above. The assignments per block and RIR
is well known.
