I hope not.  Turns out reservation in IPv4 resulted in lots of tiny  
holes that few folks wanted (although I suspect that'll be changing  
soon).  The reason the RIRs were allocated /12s from IANA was that the  
RIRs had committed to _stop_ reserving space and instead do sparse  
allocation via the "bisection" method.  This would allow LIRs to grow  
while minimizing the number of non-aggregatable prefixes granted to  
any one ISP.  IIRC, APNIC was doing this.  Not sure about the other  
RIRs.
