If a single 6rd instance is accepted as a rule the end result of that will be that every ISP in the world with non-contiguous allocations will be asking for a /24 next, knowing full well that they're only going to use 0,1% of the network side of that space, ever.
Just to drop a bit of bait into this lively discussion :-9 - we could actually afford to give every organization that reasonably claims to serve IP connectivity to more than 1000 customers a /24. There's 10 million /24s inside FP 001. All in all, the RIRs have about 20.000 members today - 1/500th of that. Of course that's not my call to make, but would require a formal policy change (and isn't actually the point of this discussion - which is "provide guidance to the IPRAs on whether the WG is considering this to be acceptable use").
