In that case the ISP needs to make a new address plan policy, which would not be as clean as if he would have had a /31 to start off with. With the /29 there would be no issue at all on this matter.
I suspect many LIRs got their /32 just because they could get the allocation and in reality did not have a clue what they really need for deployment and are now stuck with HD ratio. Question for RIPE-NCC staff: do we have any data or estimation/approximation, how many LIRs wanted additional alloc because of this reason and got it with trade? How many are asking for it? Would /29 cover majority of this "trades"? Are there any clueless LIRs, that got /32, but today with presenting real data they would get more than /29? We need some statistics here, if possible.
