It's been shown that the current /22 IPv6 requirement causes difficulties in a particular corner case where the applicant has actually already obtained an IPv6 non-PA delegation and are most likely making use of it too (since returning/renumbering is problematic). This is exactly the opposite of the desired effect of fostering IPv6 deployment, indeed, it could be considered as penalising IPv6 deployment.
I believe that at this point in time, the community's awareness and use of IPv6 isn't likely to increase further by keeping the /22 IPv6 requirement. In a nutshell: LIRs who have no interest in IPv6 won't start actual deployment even if the /22 IPv6 requirement forces them to obtain an IPv6 allocation, while LIRs who do have an interest in IPv6 will be perfectly able to obtain and deploy IPv6 without the /22 IPv6 requirement present.
Given the above, I think it is time to remove it completely. That seems the simplest and cleanest solution.
