Sooner or later RIPE IPv4 address space will run out. Moving from /22 to /24 will not change that, which is the essence of the question, but doing so will create more fragmentation (BGP, smaller LIRS, cost unfairness between members...).
Fragmentation is here already and it's done even by resource holders having allocations shorter than /22... Some kind of unfairness is also here - some LIRs have only single /22, some LIRs have multiple /16. From this perspective it's nothing bad, when new LIRs will have only /24... As stated in original post "This proposal aims to reduce the IPv4 allocation size to a /24 once the RIPE NCC is unable to allocate contiguous /22 ranges." - that meas, when new allocations will cause fragmentation anyway. - Daniel
