I would say IPv4 anycast /24 PI must be allocated for anycasting DNS service only. You simply can't add more nameservers if you hit the max limit... The rules for IPv6 anycast allocations must be not that strict in the future... why? The address space will be more than enough, the router HW will be more powerful to handle large routing tables ...

Ps. If Ripe will allow anycast /24 PI allocation for syslog and ddos, and other UDP based services, then expect all free /24 blocks taken in a year or less for sure ;)
So what's your message? Do you support handing out /24 PI for "these" applications, or do you oppose it, due to address space / routing table slots usage?
Your e-mail was a bit unclear in that respect...
