Nothing at all… Simply pointing out that there is experience with such a policy 
and that the experience has been positive.

Fair enough. So if policy up to a /29 works well and policy allowing /28s works 
well, why not favor /28s over /29s? What is the advantage of /29s?

I’m not favoring disapproval of this policy. I’m favoring modifying it to allow 
/28s.

When computing net masks and which networks are within/outside of a given 
prefix, things which fall on nibble boundaries are readily visible to human 
eyes.

If I have a prefix, for example, of 2620:0:930::/48, I know that anything which 
starts with 2620:0:930:… is within that prefix.

If I make it a /29, then instead of 2620:0:930:… it becomes 2620:0:930:0… 
through 2620:0:930:7…

It’s even worse for 28s vs. 29s… For example, 2601:5ca0::/28 includes 
everything that starts with 2601:5ca?:…
However, 2601:5ca8::/29 is everything from 260:15ca8:… thru 2601:5caf:…

Delegating a /29 requires 8 NS records per name server serving the ip6.arpa 
zones in question.
Delegating a /28 requires 1.

I believe that RPKI has similar issues to DNS.

Perhaps it is because you are not technical and have not had an operational 
role and experience.
