Exactly. 5.4.1 and RFC3177 are important for the sake of maintaining a coherent assignment policy, but the size of the assignments an LIR/ISP is planning on making (which we very much hope will be picked from the /48 /64 or /128 bucket as per that policy) should not impact their ability to obtain an allocation in the first place...
