To be a LIR and grab /20 if really need only /28?
With a /28 you won't appear far in the current IPv4 routing tables either. Most sites filter prefixes longer than 24. How do you currently use such a /28 as PI? Or did you become a LIR and got that /20, just like is possible now with IPv6?
As an exercise for the readers try to remember why there are filters on IPv4 /24 boundaries and the try to figure out why there are quite a number of people not wanting IPv6 PI to fill their IPv6 routing tables.
Even to the risk of upsetting you... These filters do not exist to blind out small PI assignments, they are in place to remove accidental leakage of IGP prefixes caused by some fat-fingered jerk like myself...
