However, we should also consider that all those /29s that are reserved will remain unusable because they are blocked.
I'm not sure I understand this. If a /29 is reserved, it's reserved because the initial allocation was a /35 or /32 - so those allocations can not grow to a /28. Bad luck. Indeed, if we get a lot of returns "I must have a /28, so here's my /32-reserved-/29 back!" we would have a fragmented address pool at the NCC, with /29s that can not form a /28. OTOH, do you expect every new LIR to ask for a /28? I admit I have not read the proposal yet, but if it's in line with what we currently have, a LIR could just signal "a /32 is good for me" and get one of those /29 holes... (Our /32 has lasted us 26 years so far, and we'll never fill it - so we've never extended it to a /29, because, why?)
