[c-nsp] smaller PI

That's weird,  "PI" stands for "provider independent". How can one be independent with a non-routable IP range???
Where did the "try to aggregate as much as possible" concept go to?

It is like it is. RIPE NCC allocates PI according to the demand
within 12 months. If it is a /26, you'll get a /26. RIPE NCC does
not guarantee that the block they allocate is routable.

Tricky eh? There is a policy proposal to make PI blocks at
least /24 in case it is planned to announce them to the DFZ.
