Reverse DNS delegations for IPv6 are made on nibble boundaries. Also, humans are less likely to screw up when allocations are made on nibble boundaries. Furthermore, from a conservation perspective, a few /16 allocations pose little difference compared to a slightly larger number of /20 allocations. Also, all the RIR allocations above /24 make little difference from a conservation perspective compared to the more significant number of allocations between /32 and /24. I recognize that /16 allocations offend some people's sensibilities; I can respect that, and they should support this policy. However, in my opinion, a policy change is not warranted, especially by a single /16 allocation being made in a decade.
